Eau Claire: Number of Chimneys

Houses need at least one chimney and 89 percent of Eau Claire's houses have only one chimney. Additional chimneys are needed for fireplaces--fireplaces upstairs and downstairs would use different flues within the same chimney.

Multiple chimneys are necessary for several sources of heating and/or cooking.  Besides functional reasons, the number of chimneys also gives houses different appearances, especially if they have central or end locations.
