> my florida house built in 1978 has a central fireplace not americans, new englanders are just a special tarded. that house from soap takes place in connecticut. i believe the actual answer is that new england homes are really old and the fireplace and heating furnaces were placed on the walls to make it easier to receive delivered fuel. there are chutes for accepting coal and such on the exterior. a now extinct job like the milk delivery guy.
