The brick wall behind the plaster in the dining room. Another historic feature!

I wonder why they put up a wooden framework then filled it in with bricks. I would have thought the bricks alone would be stronger. No doubt someone will explain!
I rather like this "historic feature" too and am thinking about Julia and Lois's suggestions to have some exposed bricks. The kitchen wall is definitely not a candidate, but maybe a section of this might be?...
Andy isn't keen. We'll have to see.
