Search Rockland, ME Homes for Sale with a Fireplace
Rockland was built on lime and shipping, and the money that came out of both put up a substantial stock of houses between 1850 and 1900 along Broadway, Talbot Avenue and the streets climbing from the waterfront. Those houses were heated by fireplaces, so original mantels and hearths survive in many of them, sometimes several per house off a central chimney. Newer construction and renovations in the city have added gas and wood inserts. In coastal Maine a working hearth is not decoration. Cates Real Estate knows this housing stock.

- Mostly in the nineteenth century houses along Broadway, Talbot Avenue and the streets rising from the harbor, built during the lime and shipping era between roughly 1850 and 1900.
- Are these fireplaces working?
- It varies. Some retain open flues, others are decorative or have been fitted with gas or wood inserts. A chimney inspection is the way to confirm before relying on one.
