exploreparadise2 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Ok, so it's not really a flying buttress. But the curved chimney addition looks like one. The curved part rises from a basement fireplace. The bricks don't match so it's not original, but the addition is old enough to be unlined. It just looks odd and I haven't seen something like this before. Click to Enlarge 67.15 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hi, I had something similar last week. An oil furnace flue encased in concrete that passes alongside a basement before it couples to a masonry chimneystack.

John Dirks Jr Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 It's obvious that mason has been around for a while. It looks like it went up without a second thought or fuss. You know, just another day on the job. The arched nature looks pretty sturdy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I'll bet it's never seen a sweep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
