7 layers of wall coverings

Interesting choice of display technique in this, the Former Governors’ Mansion in Bismarck, North Dakota. When they peeled off the deepest layer and arrived at the original wall, they left a rectangle of each exposed layer and just screwed a frame around it. So this particular room has had seven different wall coverings over its life.
