About Lower Merion
After World War II, Lower Merion changed from a farming township into a suburb.
The township is at the heart of the Main Line suburbs, named for the old Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line that crosses it.
Harriton House, built in 1704, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Some of the township's street signs date back to the early 1910s.
Lower Merion includes the historic districts Gladwyne Historic District, Mill Creek Historic District, Bryn Mawr College 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 Lower Merion 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 Lower Merion were built before 1954, and 32.2% date from before 1940, so many chimneys here still run on original clay tile or unlined brick, and mortar joints that old need repointing on a schedule. 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.
