removing plaster from bricks

The walls of the room are plaster and lathe with a chimney in one wall. When they built the house (circ 1915), they plastered over the chimney (red brick) to make the wall/chimney one flat surface. We have removed the plaster and lathe and are replacing it with drywall and want to use the red brick as any accent in the room.
