One of the bedrooms has an interesting little closet in the corner. It's cool, but not very functional. There are also a couple of things about it that just don't seem right. Regardless, we decided to remove it and build a more functional closet.
Last night I began the demolition by carefully removing shelves inside the closet and the base moldings on the outside. And what did I find?
The base molding on the main wall continues right through the closet wall. This closet is not original! Looking closely at the backside of the plaster work on the inside of the closet, it's obviously old because of the wooden lath, but it is definitely not original construction.
Now I don't feel so bad about ripping this out and replacing it.
