This 1920's house has stucco siding that looks exactly like clapboard from a distance. The foyer has four arched doorways and a domed ceiling in the middle.

Hi Neal,

Are you sure it was stucco?

The reason I ask is that I don't see any accessory joints or termination beads anywhere there; and every once in a while I run into a house here that's got wood claps that have been top-coated with a stucco-like cementitious coating that looks so much like stucco that it can fool you.

ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

There was a broken section down at the lowest course. it was cementitious through and through. I've never seen anything like it before. The brackets at the overhang were also stucco.
