So here's a question for you guys: why would someone build a wall by nailing hundreds of 2x6s together (like this -->||||||||||||) with absolutely no gaps anywhere along the length of the wall? To put it another way, the builder just nailed studs together on flat, one after another until the wall was finished.
The wall I'm talking about is in an Elementary school built in 1954, so I assume the builders were somewhat professional.
I'm just curious if this is, or was, a legitimate framing method, and if so, what's the purpose of it? I've never seen anything like it before.
