From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Dwellings       The materials used in buildings were commonly bricks, sometimes       also stones (Lev. 14:40, 42), which were held together by cement       (Jer. 43:9) or bitumen (Gen. 11:3). The exterior was usually       whitewashed (Lev. 14:41; Ezek. 13:10; Matt. 23:27). The beams       were of sycamore (Isa. 9:10), or olive-wood, or cedar (1 Kings       7:2; Isa. 9:10).                The form of Eastern dwellings differed in many respects from       that of dwellings in Western lands. The larger houses were built       in a quadrangle enclosing a court-yard (Luke 5:19; 2 Sam. 17:18;       Neh. 8:16) surrounded by galleries, which formed the       guest-chamber or reception-room for visitors. The flat roof,       surrounded by a low parapet, was used for many domestic and       social purposes. It was reached by steps from the court. In       connection with it (2 Kings 23:12) was an upper room, used as a       private chamber (2 Sam 18:33; Dan. 6:11), also as a bedroom (2       Kings 23:12), a sleeping apartment for guests (2 Kings 4:10),       and as a sick-chamber (1 Kings 17:19). The doors, sometimes of       stone, swung on morticed pivots, and were generally fastened by       wooden bolts. The houses of the more wealthy had a doorkeeper or       a female porter (John 18:16; Acts 12:13). The windows generally       opened into the courtyard, and were closed by a lattice (Judg.       5:28). The interior rooms were set apart for the female portion       of the household.                The furniture of the room (2 Kings 4:10) consisted of a couch       furnished with pillows (Amos 6:4; Ezek. 13:20); and besides       this, chairs, a table and lanterns or lamp-stands (2 Kings       4:10).
