A sign at the site indicates that these two fireplaces are replicas:
"OPEN FIREPLACES
After the kitchen was destroyed by fire in 1812, open fireplaces were built here. They were designed to hold iron kettles in which beef and corn (popcorn soup) were cooked to feed the Indians. These replicas are similar in size, shape and material, and built directly over the original fireplaces."
