Lake Park chimneys still show the Kelsey City building era
Lake Park was incorporated in 1923 as Kelsey City and sits on the Intracoastal lagoon. Many remaining chimneys are bungalow or mid-century masonry along the U.S. 1 corridor. Later block or factory chases also appear. The free inspection names the construction at that lot instead of assuming a 1920s flue on every street.
Lagoon air can erode mortar and rust caps faster than an inland ranch stack. That is a measured-exposure question. The written estimate names the component and material for the house, not a town-wide alloy rule.

What to send before a Lake Park visit
- The street address and whether the lot is nearer the lagoon or west of U.S. 1.
- When moisture appears relative to rain, and the room where it shows.
- Safe ground-level photographs. Do not climb a wet roof.
Approve work only after the scope, materials, exclusions, and change process are written. Evacuate and use emergency channels first when there is fire, indoor smoke, a carbon-monoxide alarm, or a gas odor.
