stone houses
Buildings of rock
Stone houses are dwellings built primarily from stone rather than wood, brick, or other materials.
The term is descriptive rather than technical—any house constructed with stone walls qualifies: The village was full of old stone houses.
Stone houses suggest permanence, rusticity, or historical architecture, common in regions where stone was abundant and timber scarce.
