We removed the drop-in ceiling and then the wood paneling on the walls.
We found that it was tongue & groove on the walls.
This staircase was originally open to the street with no door. So the the wood tongue & groove was perfect.
We plan to repair some places and then sand it off as it has a pattern to it. Very cool find.
View looking down the stairs. Above the T&G is plaster which will need to be repaired or replaced.
At the bottom of the stairs we found some original glass (Prism glass) that was designed by Franklin L. Wright.
This design allows light to be directed to places farther back like this stairway. All are present and not broken.
Very good find!!
This is the upstairs hallway that leads back to the back bedroom. It had a false doorway about midway that I removed to open it back up.
The plaster will need to be fixed in a few places, but all is in good condition.
