In 1908, Edith Durham stayed somewhere in Mirdita and recorded her impressions with words and drawings about the fireplace and the environment around it.
The chimney looks characteristic. A part of it is taken out of the wall and this thing seems not to have been common in Kosovo. The protruding part of the chimney looks like a shelter, but Durham calls it a hood.
Here is what she writes in the text placed under the drawing:
"A large fireplace found in Mirdi. The hood is woven and whitewashed. The hasra [rough bedding] in front of [the fireplace] was the only mattress for sleeping. Soon after dinner was served, the company lay down around the fireplace and slept like dogs. That's how I [slept] too."
