Traditional - brick or stone or concrete built with substantiial ((tiled or slated) roofing on a substantial backing frame. tenement flats, old brick-works type factories, traditional farm steadings etc.
Modern - mainly glass, corrugated iron, aluminium or light "pressed stone" walling, and especially, light roofing (not walk-safe) such as flat tar-waterproofed or corrugated iron or similar roofing, on little or no backing frame which will tend to provide less protection from plunging arty and mortar fires. Modern estate housing, pre-fab housing, shopping strips, light industrial estate buildings, farm outbuildings etc.

Few "modern housing" then, as well, especially that far out "in the wild"
Maybe this would "qualify" because of being mostly wood:
Farm houses, 400+ years

Typical "land house" (>100 years old) will be timber-framed, often filled with quarrystone, or half-timbered like this:

Some reconstructions have been made using bricks:

Lots of old land and farm houses are made with very little timber frame. Walls are 30-40cm, roof is pan-tiled and walk (and tree-) save ...

A typical town house from 1900+ has 25-40 cm brick walls and pan tile roof, but wooden ceilings.
A typical post-war house (1945+) has thinner walls, but steel-reinforced concrete ceilings of 12cm+.
Bricks have become more and more lightweight through the years, though.
So, all in all, I think 95% of the qualifiy as "stone buildings".
