Grid pattern on walls?

The walls of the enclosed sunporch in my 1915 house have a grid pattern in them. The ledge over the radiator, too. Any thoughts on what this is? Just decorative, or some specific type of material?

It's just some sheet material that has a grid embossed on it to make it look like tile. There's nothing special about it; it's just decorative.

It's faux tile.

Maybe it's Temprtile. InspectAPedia has good information on Beaverboard, Upsom Board and other fibrous type wall coverings made in the past

So funny--it didn't occur to me that it could be trying to look like tile! You must be right, even if it really doesn't fool me. Thanks, all!
