fireplace reveal

It took a while to get around to it, but we finally got the original fireplace exposed. It's pretty drastic the difference in style. Honestly it looks a little more classical revival than prairie or arts & crafts, but I love it. Any opinions on the style? There's some trim missing at the bottom & top that we got to figure out how to replace/replicate. Part of the hearth has been ripped out too. We had it checked out by a fireplace guy & he said it was originally coal-burning. There isn't an access door for the ash on the side of the house so maybe he's right.

Updated pics here.
