Maine winters make a fireplace or woodstove more than decorative, and Hancock County's housing stock reflects that from both ends of its history. The older houses in Castine, Blue Hill, Bucksport, and the Mount Desert Island villages were built around chimneys, while much of the postwar and recent construction added a fireplace or stove to the main living space.
