: I have purchased a 100 year-old row house.
: I would like to remove the plaster from one wall
: and expose the brick -- which is quite nice.
: Do I need to treat the brick with anything, and
: if so, what should I use/do?

: Thanks.

Peter
Once the brick are cleaned and exposed you may want to seal them most brick used for backup in plastered wall are quite soft and take water or stain easily. Aldon Chemical has alot of information on both cleaning and sealing of brickwork.
