Metal door frames/jambs

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
My 1953 home has metal door frames/jambs, instead of wood. How were these installed? And more importantly, how can I remove them?

My reason for removing them and returning to real wood is purely aesthetic. Before I do so, there a structural reason these frames were used?
