Built in approximately 1867, but with history constantly contradicting itself, we really have no idea when it was truly built. We are trying to do a full restoration while leaving pieces of the former owners.

A picture worth a thousand words...
...and not one of them are pretty, nice, or ladylike. Whatdya think? Can we call it artwork?

I've seen similar in museums, ha. I found, under numerous layers of old wallpaper, a Pennsylvania Dutch-like drawing of a bird on the bare plaster with a signature below it. It was drawn in pencil. I'm guessing it was the plasterer's name. I coated it with shellac, took numerous pictures and then painted over it. I guess I could have framed it like some do but it was just simple and done in pencil. Isn't it fun to uncover things and then play detective?
