During his "March to the Sea", General Sherman's forces destroyed much of the existing infrastructure of Georgia. In areas where they encountered local hostilities (such as ambushes, burned bridges, etc.) they also burned factories, mills, houses, cotton-gins and such - leaving only the non-flammable fireplaces and chimneys - aka "Sherman's Monuments".

What did the Franklin stove look like?
It is like a metal box with a chimney flue. Its big advantage is compared to a fireplace. In a fireplace, a huge fraction of the heat goes up the chimney and you only get heat if you stand in front of it. The Franklin stove can be in the center of the room and warm the room in all directions.

Your chimney allows cold air into the house. How do you close it off?
shine a light up the chimney and you should see a metal plate or door with a handle on one end that can be adjusted to be vertical (or open-allowing you to see completely up the chimney or adjusted so that it is completely flat and completely blocking the opening (closed) common sense here. It's simply a door,. opening or closing the flue which is always in the open position when having a fire in the fireplace and is always in the closedpositioned when the fire is completely out and never closed unless the fire is absolutely and positively out!!! For a fireplace to not have a damper (door) would be practically unheard of these days, but, if you check and there is none simply buy a cover or make one yourself and use it only when no fire is present
