The Prescott fireplace is inspired from the Featured Builder #1 fireplace. This fireplace however is specially designed to be built on a slab with no need to elevate it to the height of a deck. The seating surface is 16” deep in front of the fireplace and it has a very large firebox. The overall measurement of the structure is 80” wide, 48” deep, and 76” tall. The firebox measures 48” wide, 24” deep, and 30” tall before the installation of firebrick. There is minimal block cutting in this design making it very simple to construct.
