Stranix Family Revives Fireplace After Decades Of Idle Use
The Stranix family at 405 North Swarthmore Avenue restored their unused fireplace after more than 20 years. They plan to burn coal this winter to save on energy, converting from an oil heated 14 room home. Mrs Stranix notes the coal stash kept for a bucket stove now being put to use. They moved in seven years ago and, until now, avoided the hearth.
