What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Rosemead
Rosemead filled in during the 1950s and 1960s, and the houses are modest. Those that have fireplaces tend to have brick masonry, and when the footage is finished, owners get a plain list of what the flue shows with no filler added. Anything standing here in 1987 sat close to the Whittier Narrows epicenter, so an older chimney deserves a close look. Hot summers and mild winters then add their own slow wear, with rain arriving from November through March.
