removing plaster from bricks

Tags: Painting
How or can plaster be removed from a brick fireplace (exteroir)?

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.

Where is the plaster? Sides or spots or what?
