About Cheltenham
In the late 1800s and early 1900s wealthy Philadelphians built large estates in Cheltenham, and many were later replaced by houses.
Today historic homes by Frank Furness, Horace Trumbauer and Frank Lloyd Wright stand alongside split-level, twin and row houses.
Cheltenham has 13 listings on the National Register of Historic Places, the most of any Montgomery County municipality.
Grey Towers Castle, a National Historic Landmark designed by Horace Trumbauer, is in the township.
What This Means for Your Cheltenham Chimney
Shared walls and party chimneys
Attached houses often share a chimney stack with the neighbor, with one flue per home. Smoke or water from next door, a blocked shared cap or a leaning stack affects both houses, so we check the whole stack and every flue before we plan a repair. Read: How Does Repair Work on a Shared 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 Cheltenham were built before 1955, and 27.8% 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 107 freezing nights a year in Montgomery 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.
