TIN CEILING OVER
STAIRCASE LANDING

Pressed metal ceilings or tin ceilings were popular from the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century as an affordable alternative to expensive, artistic plaster. Tin-plated steel was pressed with embossed designs similar to the costly sculptured plaster, yet tin ceiling panels could be massed produced at a fraction of the cost. Listed are images from the Library of Congress of period tin ceilings showing the wide variety of designs. Click on each link below for a look at original tin ceilings.
