If you’re looking at houses built in the early ’70′s and before and notice cracks in the ceilings, don’t be alarmed.  They’re probably simply due to the fact that the ceilings are plaster, which will crack with the expansion and contraction of the wood ceiling joists or trusses the plaster board is fastened to.  That’s one reason drywall is now used, it won’t crack.
