The house I grew up in was a Sears house. Chimneys were stacked stones from where they dug the basement, put together with simple mortar. Concrete was used inside to create the fireplace beds (basement and main floor). Not very complicated to do really.
There is some science and math to ensuring a good draw so the smoke goes up and out and doesn't get stuck inside. I imagine the instructions from Sears provided some relatively safe rules of thumb to achieve this
