Stairs, lath, & plaster...and a new hole to the basement
After 101 years the basement is getting integrated into the rest of the house. A wall behind the stairs going to the second floor was knocked out, revealing the original construction of the walls, floor, and staircase. This shows the staircase going to the second floor as well as the lath and, on the right, plaster/lath construction. All wood is old-growth redwood. That's not really available anymore...it was all cut down to build much of the Bay Area!
