What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Lynwood
So much of this housing is older than 1950 that the brick alone tells a long story. Decades of use leave little record, so a report here doubles as the first written history many of these chimneys have had, listing brick, flue and fuel together. A fault runs a few miles to the west, the Newport-Inglewood, so joints in old brick get read for cracks. Morning clouds in late spring add moisture to warm dry summers, and mild winters leave frost out of the conversation.
