Why do you think that there are so few houses with cutstone walls or trim?
Where would you expect to find them?
How do you think
cutstone affects the heating and cooling of the house?
Only 43 or about 1 percent of Eau Claire houses have cutstone,
and not all of these are completely covered with stone. Cutstone
is
an expensive wall material, so most houses only have the front sides or part
of the fronts covered with stone. This material was especially
popular
during the 1950s.
