Owners described to Andy deGruchy that they wanted to really cook in a fireplace. Andy designed a stone fireplace where circular seating could go around and a bake oven ''Dutch'' door was placed in the back with a pot crane installed in the firebox.

Outside, a small bake oven was installed with another ''Dutch'' oven door so that in the summer, the fire could be fed in from the outside. The entire masonry bake oven was built with a gas-jet system with controls set in the kitchen area so that the bake oven could be used conveniently with gas for fuel instead of wood when desired. Little openings are fresh air-intake, viewing ports and clean-out doors. Located in Walnutport, PA.

Before The old footprint of a walk-in style cook fireplace was found in this old home. We reconstructed the stonework and a small bake oven to reproduce the original layout of the room.	After
Budget did not allow a complete squirrel tail bake oven so we made a warming oven.	The warming oven.

This is a solid stone archway with a wrought iron gate. It was designed and built by deGruchy Masonry. The stone is local Granite with the Argillaceous Voussoir stones placed on the intrados for contrast. The cap is cast-in-place concrete.

This is an ''Oeil-de-boeuf'' window with a stained glass lense which operates. The window was designed and installed by deGruchy Masonry along with the surrounding stonework. The operating oval woodwork frame and glass was built by one craftsman named Matt Markle of West Chester, PA.

Owners had a beautiful view of a babbling brook outside their otherwise dark interior room of an old farmhouse.
deGruchy Masonry installed the ''I-Max'' window and now the theatre is always playing the Nature show for these NY city residents at their get-away Stewartsville, NJ home.
