What year did drywall come out?
Drywall was invented in the early 20th century. When it came into common use is a different story altogether. In my experience (I'm an electrician who does a lot of remodel work) it isn't safe to assume that drywall was used in the construction of a house unless the house was built after about the mid 1960's. I say "safe to assume" because I charge a heck of a lot more to do remodel work on plaster/lathe walls than on drywall. Drywall was invented by US Gypsum around 1916 but was not used in home construction. In 1945, after WW II, a main executive of US Gypsum was a neighbor of my parents, who were putting on a large addition to their home. US Gypsum provided the Gypsum board (as drywall was called at the time) and the instillation at no charge with the understanding they could use this for publicity. Photographers were on site to take photos and a large article with color photos appeared in Home and Garden Magazine. The US Gypsum person who remained life long friends with my father said many times that that started them on the way to having houses built with Drywall. We lived in the outskirts of Chicago, which at the time was out in country. Following the war there was a huge building boom. Most of the homes in the area built in the late 40's and early 50's used drywall. My Grandfather was a contractor.
