[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most stone houses are not solid multiple wythes of masonry tied together (much older ones would likely be) but rather a veneer of masonry on the outside of a wood frame. The masonry is a single wythe stacked on a ledge of the foundation and has ties mortared in that are attached to the structure to keep if from falling laterally away from the building. There is typically an airspace separating the masonry from the structure. In some more modern applications, the masonry is a "thin veneer" of real stone or brick, but cut super thin. In all of these instances, a stone mason can remove the sections needed, and allow the carpenter to reframe for the door. [/quote] This stone house was built in 1900.[/quote]
