lstmmrbls Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 I lived in a home in Arcata Ca,(3rd oldest in town) that had newspapers glued to the inside of the exterior walls with civil war battle accounts as some of the stories. We tried everything we could to remove some of them with no luck. So we just left some of them exposed to the inside and it was a pretty neat look.

duffy Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 yup some of those old newspapers are purty fragile....some real old ones are made on linen stock and stay together purty good....the last house i worked on i found a paper that was printed in the same year i was born...it was stuffed under a threshold ....it wouldnt even unfold....
