Plaster repair begins

I lost. I had hoped to keep the walls with partial plaster in places where it had come off. I thought the look of plaster exposing brick was cool.

Not according to State Preservation. Walls where plaster is largely in tack needs repairing to "original look". Places where the plaster had completely been stripped from the brick can remain.

So, here you see the plaster guy repairing the northwest corner, and you see a brick wall that can stay just as it is. A coat of brick glaze will be applied to prevent brick dust. I suppose that in time I won't remember partial walls....but this is a sad day.
