About Downingtown
Downingtown was settled in 1716 and was first called Milltown for the mills along the East Branch Brandywine Creek.
The Downingtown Log House dates from about 1700 and was moved and restored between 1988 and 1990.
Lancaster Avenue (Business Route 30) runs through the heart of the borough.
Downingtown includes the historic district East Lancaster Avenue Historic District. Older brick chimneys there often need matched brick and mortar, so we look at the house before we plan the work.
What This Means for Your Downingtown Chimney
Postwar homes and their chimneys
Homes built in the postwar decades often have a brick chimney with a mortar crown that was never meant to last. After decades of winters, crowns crack, caps go missing and flashing lets water in. These are quick, affordable fixes when caught early. Read: What Should You Do About a Cracked Chimney Crown?

Half of the homes in Downingtown were built before 1964, and 29.6% date from before 1940, so a good share of chimneys here were built to older standards, with clay tile liners and crowns that are now decades old. With about 131 freezing nights a year in Chester County, water that gets into a crack freezes and widens it again and again, which is why we check the crown and flashing on every visit.
