Two fireplaces?

This is probably a silly question, but as I dont know the answer I thought id ask!
I live in a three story property built in 1904.
3 - Bedrooms
2 - Front room + Bathroom (Street level)
1 - Dining room + Kitchen
In the front room is a bricked up fireplace which has an air vent. In the Dining room there is also a chimney breast, but this does not have an air vent.
Does this mean the only fire place is in the front room or do we also have one in the dining room that we could open up?
Thanks in advance

It would be normal in that age property for a chimney breast to have a fire place originally. How its been blocked (i.e. just bricked over or filled in completely for structural reasons) will only be evident when you try to open it up. The air vent in the front room is probably sufficient to vent the entire stack so the lack of one downstairs doesn't mean much.Adventure before Dementia!0

I expect the would have been as many fireplaces as pots on the top of the chimney in that era of house.You might as well ask the Wizard of Oz to give you a big number as pay a Credit Referencing Agency for a so-called 'credit-score'0

I'd say it would be extremely weird for their not to be a fireplace in their somewhere.0
