Rumford fireplaces are tall and shallow to reflect more heat, and they have streamlined throats to eliminate turbulence
and carry away the smoke with little loss of heated room air.
Today, with the extensive restoration of old and historic houses and the renewed popularity of early American and classical architecture in new construction, Rumford fireplaces are enjoying a comeback. You can learn more about the history and design of Rumford fireplaces by visiting the Buckley Rumford Company.
