Disagree. I’ve found stone brick houses to be unbearably hot in the southern US. They turn into an oven.

I’ve never seen actual stone houses in north America, only those fake panels on the outside.

Looked it up, didn’t find much but did find this, these look like made of stone indeed but maybe it’s because they’re thinner? When I think of stone houses I think of things like this with very thick walls, we have these in all the really hot countries like Italy, Spain, southern France etc and I can confirm they stay cool inside even when it’s 40°c outside.
