Description

The tall chimneys have a separate shaft for each flue. The shafts are grouped in stacks or, more typically, lined up in rows, with each shaft set diagonally to its neighbors. This arrangement can be seen at Bacon's Castle of 1655 in Surrey County, Virginia, which is one of the few original examples of medieval designs in America.
