We probably cannot afford to put it back right now, but we'll definitely take careful notes of what and where and try to put it back later. It looks like that front parlor area had wainscoting, similar to the dining room, but with painted panels between the vertical boards.

I have the exact same situation in my dining room. The original wainscoting consisted of a few vertical boards running between the baseboards and the plate rail (or the window apron) with the bare plaster walls exposed and painted between. I put a skim coat of plaster over the walls to smooth out the texture, but otherwise replaced the boards in the same "footprints" that were left behind.
