It is very common for old homes to have leaning chimneys in the attic like this one. The bricklayers would simply start building the chimney and then when they got close to the ridge of the roof, they would lean it so that it would pe*****te the roof through the center of the ridge. So a lot of times, seeing a chimney like this one might look scary, but it was done intentionally. Also if you look at the chimney above the roof, it is nice and straight.
