What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Duarte
Groves once covered this ground, and most of what replaced them dates from the 1950s through the 1970s. Near the end of that stretch, chimney construction started changing, so the report confirms what was actually built instead of trusting the year on the deed. Ember protection comes first on the cap page here, a habit that fits a town put on alert in the 2020 Bobcat Fire. The Sierra Madre Fault follows the mountain base above, and sun with wide temperature swings keeps working at the mortar.
