Unless it is a commercial building a normal house would not have a steel frame. It would have wood.
If you were to look at your wall, what you initially see is 'drywall' when that is pulled off you will see insulation, when that is pulled out you will see wires (electrical do NOT touch unless the electricity in the whole house is off. If you do not know about electricity don't even attempt this!!)
you will then see wood framing, that will be screwed to the brick or somehow otherwise attached.
Please do not attempt to rip down walls without consulting a professional. You need certain permits to remove certain walls, or the house structure will be compromised. Get a contractor or a carpenter in your house to access if the wall can be removed!

Wood or steel beam to support a roof ceiling or floor?
There are two criteria for making the decision. 1) How much weight is the beam carrying. Wood beams look great and can carry most residential loads. Commercial buildings often use steel beams to carry the snow wind and floor loads, but heavy timber can also do the trick. 2) How should the wood or steel beam look? If the building is prettier using wood, that might be the way to go. If steel looks better - use steel. Sometimes a combination of wood and steel is perfect.
