Just bought a house. The fireplace has slate interior walls. One side has a crack. Is this repairable?

Replacement of the damaged stone is the usual suggestion. This may involve rebuilding the firebox. You can discuss the possibly of a less cosmetic repair using refractory mortar with a licensed mason.
