Oh Plaster Where Art Thou?

I've now moved on to the western wall of Grandy's Room and have removed all the paneling off of it and discovered several interesting things. One - there's some stenciling on a portion of the wall, and Two - about half of the wall is covered in a rough kind of surface that doesn't feel like plaster! And the stenciling is on part of it, and beneath the wallpaper. The rough part actually feels like cement, and seems a lot stronger than the plaster.

Could the rough part just be where the plaster has had its top coat come off to expose the scratch coat? Or is it some kind of early 20th century repair?

Since the paneling was put in about 40 years ago, that makes the wallpaper below it probably about 50 years old, and then below that is the stencil, which is on both the finished plaster and the rough part. That seems to indicate that the stenciling was done to try and disguise the rough areas? Pictured above is a section that shows the stenciling on both the rough and smooth areas. It also shows where the rough and smooth areas meet and some of the rough part seems to "spill" over onto the smooth area, which makes me think it's a repair job. Does anyone know what plaster repair was like back about 60+ years ago?

Some other interesting things I detected. The lower picture railing was there before the wallpaper, as there is a ghost outline on the plaster, and I discovered nail holes for it underneath the wallpaper. There's a ghost outline at the higher height on the plaster too, but I can't tell if it was also on top of the wallpaper. Hopefully the last wall will reveal that part of the story.

I used to find notes left in timberland 6 inch collection basket,beautiful notes about my homilies and about the writer's thoughts on the daily scriptural timberland 6 inch boots readings.The person who penned timberland rolltop boots notes would add reflections to my thoughts and would always include some quotes from poets and mystics he or she had read timberland custom boots and remembered and loved.The notes fascinated me.Here was someone immersed in a search for truth and beauty.Words had been treasured,words that were beautiful black timberland boots .And I felt as if the words somehow delighted in being discovered,for they were obviously very generous to the timberland work shoes as yet anonymous writer of the notes.And now this person was in turn learning timberland winter boots secret of sharing them.Beauty so shines when given away.How long does it take most of us to reach ladies timberland boots that level of human growth,if we ever get there?We get so consumed diminished,worrying about all the things that need improving,we can easily forget to cherish those timberland hiking boots things that last.Friendship,so rare and so good,just needs our care--maybe even the simple gesture of writing a little timberland waterproof boots note now and then,or the dropping of some beautiful words in a basket,in the hope that such beauty will be shared and taken to timberland womens premium boots heart. http://www.timberland6inch.com/

A thesis search assignment is a project for which a observer performs the most extensive search possible and combines it into a single daily grind, usually filling 50 to 150 pages. So maybe dissertation writing will aid you.
