How to expose brick

One thing to keep in mind...old plaster has a high chance of containing asbestos. Before stirring things up I would have it checked.

Edit...I just say your last post about not doing it...sounds like a good call

Having being involved in historic preservation of major buildings for over 45 years, and an elected member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, I offer the following advice:

First, I would take a trip to the deep northern woods and find a 400+ pound female Grizzly, with cubs, and slap her in the snout.

If you enjoy the encounter, then I would tear the plaster off of the wall. Frankly, I would rather slap mommy Grizzly than remove the plaster.
