Yes, I live in Europe and have an old house dating back to the 19th century, with thick stone walls.
Stone? We had only unburned bricks, no right angles, several kinds of walls put together and bulging out to rooms. It is always funny to add or redo some furniture, electric work ...
The outside walls are stone, but inside it's a big mess: I never know what color the dust will be when I drill a hole. And I can't even imagine right angles or straight walls. It must be so handy.
My workplaces is like this: Some walls are red brick, others white/yellow brick. I have one random concrete wall. A couple plywood walls. I have yet to find a plasterboard wall.
