What Year Did Acoustic (popcorn) Ceiling Start In Calif?


I have a customer that has a house built in 1920 with popcorn ceiling and she swears that those are original?

Thanks....

I thought it was a 70's thing.

Pretty sure it was mid to late 50's. My new bedroom had sprayed ceilings (with sparklies in the paint) when I was 13 (1958). Surprisingly, though, we had plaster walls.
