Life is what happens while you're making other plans.
Demolition of the closet continues at a slower than expected pace.
But the more I demolish, the more history we come across.
Today I removed all the plaster from the exterior walls of the closet. Now we can really tell that the closet isn't original construction. The cornice at the top of the window and the ledge at the sill were perfectly preserved behind the plaster for the closet wall.
There were some hooks screwed to 1x3s about midway up the wall inside the closet. After I removed the hooks, I removed the 1x3s and found that the old wallpaper was still there. You can also see the original room color on the lower half of the wall and base molding inside the closet. And the base molding looks more and more like it is unmolested behind the closet walls.
