Abstract: A wall system having removable panels characterized by each panel having a parallel row of magnetic units with a row adjacent each longitudinal edge for holding the panel to magnetically attractive vertical studs of the wall system. In assembling the wall structure, an upper plate or track member and a lower plate or track member are attached to the structure of the building and then the studs are positioned therebetween with equal spacing for the centers of the studs to form a frame. A first panel is mounted on the frame by having an upper edge engaged in the upper track or plate member with the rows of magnetic units disposed over studs and then the panel is moved toward the studs to be held by the magnetic units. The second and subsequent panels are mounted in a similar manner utilizing the previously mounted panel as a guide for positioning during mounting thereof. In narrow panels, the width of the panel is substantially equal to the center distance between the studs and a row of the magnetic units is supplied adjacent each of the longitudinal edges while in larger panels the width of the panel is twice the distance between the centers of the studs and a third row of magnetic units is provided on the longitudinal centerline of the panel to overlay the stud disposed between the pair of studs which the longitudinal edges overlay.
