This is an amazing 6 floor building made of rammed earth in 1826. I was aware that this type of construction was used in the country in South America, but I didn't know you could build a 6-story house with it. Have to admit that this is a durable and good-looking building method.
They use ramming equipment nowadays to compact the earth mix, so I guess this has come a long way. Check out this site. He has lots of links.
Informative and Nice Blog!
