The jury’s still out on the pocket door wall.  The wall is not technically structural, but there is a 2×4 (or so) header above the wall framing that is attached to the roof joists.  Probably just to stabilize the wall, right?  But over the 100 years of the building’s life, has the roof come to sit on that framing?  Decisions, decisions…

Also, the original plan was to remove that entire wall  for a lofty feeling.  But, uncovering the pocket doors was pretty neat.  Keeping the doors adds nice character and defines the spaces, but you also lose the open loft feeling.  So… to pocket or not to pocket, that is the question!
