The rest is pebble dash.

More Pebble dash stucco replaced
Dawn's house
Washington, DC
Circa 1901 wood clapboard was covered
with metal lath and pebble dash stucco in
the 1930's. The old wood siding was still
in good condition after all these years even
without the use of tar paper. 
The metal lath had failed prematurely probably
due to lack of galvanization or coating.

Pebble dash stucco
on a new house 
Chevy Chase, MD

TOP: Another job for Block Builders. You
may have seen these houses we did like this
for Block last year, or this one two years ago.

TOP RIGHT: A closer view of the stucco. The curve at the bottom is called a wash, done to deflect water away from the stone water table.
Washes also have a decorative effect, the curve showing the wall is stucco.

RIGHT: Tyvek torn off strategically leaving strips around edges and windows.
