It's not all that uncommon at least east of the Mississippi, and you don't
even have to be on the east coast or something... before my girlfriend and
I bought our current home, we were renting the first floor in another house
in the same city built somewhere around the middle of the 19th century
(really! in Michigan! I think it pre-dated statehood here...) and that had
a completely dirt-and-rock basement.
It didn't do the best job of keeping the bugs out, but it was always dry.
Best,
Sean

Why is there a dirt basement under a residential block?
Not all that uncommon in Europe. Not even all that uncommon in older
American cities, though I know our Europeans will laugh at me for calling
my house built in 1915 "old".
