A Brief History of Us

Peter J. Magnotti, along with his partner, founded the stone and marble center in 1950. In 1963 Peters’ son William J. (Pat) Magnotti joined the company after graduating from The Citadel. In 1965 Peter J. Magnotti took over 100% of the company and it became known as Magnotti & Son, Inc. The company continued to supply stone, marble, granite and other unusual building material to the Tri-State area. In 1968 Pat opened the first of its three “The Fireplace” stores. By 1972 there were three Fireplace stores in operation, and the company became a major source for fireplaces and fireplace accessories. In 1975 “The Fireplace“ became known as “The Fireplace & Patioplace” with the addition of the finest lines of patio furniture and patio accessories. In 1993 The Fireplace & Patioplace added barbecues to their list of fine products.  In 2004 we expanded our north locations and added one in Cranberry. Today with operations ran by the 3rd and 4th generation, along with almost 50 employees, The Fireplace and Patioplace specializes in installing Fireplaces, designing Outdoor Barbeque Kitchens and creating beautiful Outdoor Rooms furnished with gorgeous Patio Furniture.
