Can anyone please let me know the actual naming for this type of wall siding?

Coquina shell stucco.

Appreciate it!

After blowing it up on my computer they may be rocks instead of shells so it would be pebbledash stucco instead.

Roughcast or pebbledash is a coarse [plaster)

If anyone remembers, the front facades of the Zayre Stores had that finish behind the front parapet wall where the sign was.
I built one in 1973 and the stone was actually pressed by hand in an adhesive applied on a transit board. I installed the transit board for the contractor that applied the finnish.

Yes it was. Actually, the year I got married. I was the foreman for the foundation, steel erection and rough carpentry for the job. I was 21. Full of piss and vinegar. LOL

I usually just call it “Stucco/Simulated Stucco” to be safe. I think a lot of it is just some crap spackled on plywood. I don’t see it a lot in my area… seems like it’s usually on an apartment and beat to hell so I’ve never really had to ponder the write-up much.

Good info! I never knew what that was called, either.
