Stucco was popular for Spanish style homes. Traditional stucco is a cement mixture used in siding. The cement is combined with water and inert materials such as sand and lime.
The rammed dirt houses are good where rain is not a problem. Good energy usage. I recently talked to a guy that bought an old ice house. The wall insulation was solid balsa wood. His heating bills were incredably low and there was no RADON like you can get with stone.
