Question on cracks in plaster around window and chimney
Hello, folks!
my fiancé and I recently bought a 103 year old home in RVA. Its plaster and lathe with some drywall patches, but some things (like the windows) were updated ~10 years ago. It seems sturdy, a structural engineer and general home inspector both looked through before buying and gave a clean bill of health. So far, its been good with some quirks that come with an old home. I’ve noticed these cracks around the stairwell landing (pics 1-5) and the second floor chimney (not being used and patched over, pics 6-7).
Hopefully just settling, but as there is a bit of a bulge on the stucco exterior near the window that our inspector said was likely old water damage, figured I should get some more experienced advice.
Thank you!!
