I used to live in Miami and at one time cement stone veneer it was the
thing. I know, my father did it to our house. It is nothing more than
cement veneer colored and formed to mimic stone. The wall is more than
likely concrete block with the imitation stone veneer. Again you will have
to go through the process to find out from the building department if they
have plans or other records of the house. You will have to do this every
time unless you know a previous owner who knows the house history.

Thanks. How are cement stone veneer made?

If so can I chip them out and expose the concrete wall inside? I don't mind
the stone look on the outside but I don't like it on the inside.

That's too bad because it is a very carefully fitted stone wall. Kind
of like saying, I don't like all of that mahogany raised paneling in
the library, can I rip it out and put up drywall?

I have no idea about that, but you could prob. cover it over with cement
and then smooth, stucco, or finish it as you choose.

Er, you have crossed over into the vasat region known as "Kris' area of
ignorance". Dunno what you mean.

But, if the wall is already rock'n'concrete, would there be outlets in
it....? I don't recall the he mentioned any.

The idea of a "false wall" is prob the best, since it *would* allow for
wiring and so on. I just figured that plastering it over was might be a
'quick'n'dirty" solution.
