The enclosure includes a downwardly opening U-shaped frame for abutting the marginal portions of the front wall of the fireplace surrounding the opening, a horizontally outwardly projecting top wall supported from the upper horizontal portions of the U-shaped frame and a lower partial front wall projecting outwardly from and extending between the lower ends of the legs of the U-shaped frame, the opposite side marginal portions of the top wall and the opposite ends of the partial front wall being inwardly divergent and the outer marginal portion of the top wall and the central portion of the partial front wall generally paralleling the front wall of the fireplace through which the fireplace opens. Horizontally swingable opposite side and partial front wall door assemblies each including a pair of relatively swingable doors are provided and each door assembly has one door thereof pivotally supported from the corresponding leg of the U-shaped frame for swinging about a horizontal axis and the other door of each door assembly is swingable relative to the first door about a vertical axis. The door assemblies may be swung to closed positions in closing those open portions of the bay window-type enclosure extending between the low partial front wall and the top wall thereof and open positions swung outwardly of remote sides of the legs of the U-shaped frame, the free swinging edge portions of the door assemblies including upper latching structure with which further latching structure carried by the center portion of the top wall of the enclosure may coact to retain the door assemblies in the closed positions, the doors of the door assemblies each including large openings formed therein close by means of transparent panels, the center portion of the low partial front wall including a damper controlled draft air inlet and the top wall including a shiftable damper control for operative association with the existing damper in the flue of the associated fireplace.
