The 111 side had a 1928 (we assume) metal ceiling with a classical egg-and-dart cove molding. It was completely concealed under a later ceiling and storage galleries, as shown in these pictures from last fall. The second picture shows the view looking forward from up in the mezzanine, which by then was attic storage. Note the shelves on the right - they are the shelves in the top left of the 1928 photo. 
Unfortunately, unlike the 1897 ceiling on the 113 side, which we left in place, patching as needed, we weren't able to keep the 111 side's metal ceiling. Look top left in the below picture from the front during demolition, and you can see the same shelves as - again - in the 1928 photo.
The 111 side ceiling was much thinner metal and had a great deal more damage, 
so we took the entire ceiling down, then put the best pieces back up around the old skylight in the mezzanine area - forward of that is sheet rock.
Last week Jim finished up the ceiling in the skylight area by adding short sections of the original cornice from the shelving to the new ceiling. 
The picture below shows these short sections, as well as the restored shelving, letting you compare the 1928 appearance above, the 2009 appearance, and current. And oh, by the way, here's a current picture looking forward from the mezzanine showing how different things look now - compare to the dimly lit attic is was a year ago. No more attic!
