The History Channel wants to talk to homeowners restoring tin ceilings




Hi. I'm a researcher for The History Channel, and we're working on a new home restoration program called "Back to the Blueprint".

We're looking for homeowners of Victorian era houses who are currently working on restoration projects on the East Coast. We are hoping to film smaller projects over the course of a week in November. In particular, we would love to find anyone who's restoring tin ceilings on their homes.

Ed. note: Filming for this History Channel show is now long over. We believe it probably became "Back to the Blueprint, Episode 10: Victorian", with original air date March 12, 2005. We have left the thread on line for more general discussions about interesting historical tin ceiling installations.

My wife and purchased a building in Catskill New York.
We opened a small Cafe and while we were fixing the cafe we discovered a Tin Ceiling which was covered with a drop ceiling ..Well we just started on our second floor and discovered our front room was covered with sheet rock so we decided to take the sheet rock down what we found was a Tin Room..All four walls and ceiling was covered in perfect condition tin pressings. Do you have any information on Rooms made with Tin?
