Wall voids are extremely common in older brick buildings. In the case of my house and many others there's an intentional void that is also used as a massive ac duct.
The 100 years old brick buildings don't have any voids. That only started post-WWII when ventilation became a real concern.
But even then those houses are likely to have wooden floors and more modern drywall remodeling in some areas. My house is hurricane-proof but not rat-proof.
My house is brick, built in 1925 and has wall voids, you're simply wrong.
It does have wood floors with 10" wide rough cut planking and has not been remodeled, that's why I bought it.
Just as reference there are ancient Greek buildings with cavity walls, this argument is dumb.
I guess Greek house building was several decades ahead of Belgian house building then, because I've yet to see a pre-war house with cavity walls. I guess the cheap coal heating and lack of a need for cooling must have something to do with it.
Regional variations exist and in some places or fell out of habit completely, just not in the US and honestly most of the Americas.
