Hi! I am renovating the closets in my house that was built in 1949. When I tore them down, I discovered some boards that might be load-bearing. What do you think?
 
  • Interior view of a partially demolished wall with exposed wooden boards, possibly structural, in a house under renovation.
  • Renovated wardrobe space with removed panels, revealing potential load-bearing boards. Tools and materials scattered on the floor.
There are the wardrobes in the master bedroom.
 
  • Floor plan showing large bedroom closets with labeled dimensions.

Where in the house is the wall located?
Upload the floor plans of the house with a marking of which wall it concerns, when the house was built, and preferably a sectional drawing, then it might be possible to provide a better answer..

The wall between the bedrooms, which probably runs along the roof ridge, might be load-bearing. Not sure which boards you're referring to. It's hard to know exactly how and what in the walls support the weight of the joists above.

The boards are 4.5x60

The dimension of the beams says nothing. Small dimensions are sufficient for small loads and slightly larger loads if they are close together.

I believe there are load-bearing beams among the red ones.
