chimney foundation

A very large substructure, in a cellar, that supported the load of a huge fireplace and massive centrally located chimney and transmitted this load to the earth or rock below; such a foundation was necessarily immense because of the heavy load of the fireplace above it. Usually rectangular in shape and constructed of brick, stone, fieldstone, stone rubble, or some combination thereof.
