No they're old houses made from brick that later had a timber frame retrofitted internally to run electrical and HVAC. The frame just holds up false walls. I'm mainly talking about old houses here

    If it was solid stone (thickness of two brick skins) with additional insulating material behind the tacked on plasterboard then I'm surprised to hear that it didn't stay reasonably comfortable in hot weather and would suspect other factors, such as metal roofing and/or inadequate ceiling insulation may be the reason for that.
