What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Cypress
Dairy land turned into tracts here through the 1950s and 1970s, so most chimneys are from that time. Age alone does not say much. The value is in the footage, which tells a seller or buyer what fifty or sixty years did to this particular flue. A fault runs nearby to the southwest, the Newport-Inglewood, source of the 1933 quake. Santa Ana season can pry at a cap or take it off, and winter lows stay mild, so wear comes from rain and shaking rather than freezing.
