Down the county road there is a small stone homestead house. All that remains are parts of the walls. Single room and built of native stone. It's just a couple hundred feet off the county road. So I see it every time I go into town.
JMHO - local stone was used because it was available and cost nothing. I often wondered if there was any type of insulation on the inside. A solid stone house is going to be awful cold for a whole lot of the year. Late summer/early fall - it could be like an oven.
