When I repainted the inside of the 9 original rooms of my 1854 house, I used LOTS of caulk to seal all the gaps. I also replaced all the old wood windows. Even though the walls have little to no insulation, this sealing was a huge improvement.

Good enough for me, since I don't plan to put up a wall cover of any kind soon. I do need to put some insulation on the exposed part of the basement walls (2 ft or more on the south side) -- a layer of brick and a cement block aren't going to have much thermal resistance. Big thing though is to seal things up so you don't have a hurricane blowing through.
