I can't speak for American-English, but in British-English, half-timbered
refers to houses which are entirely made of timber-frame-with-infill. I
think the "half" part refers to the fact that they are built half with
timber, and half with infill, not that they are half stone and half
timber-frame.
I agree with you that most half-timbered buildings that I have seen (in the
UK) don't have a stone foundation. My "Half-Timbered Shops" kit doesn't have
one, and I built that model referring to pictures of half-timbered buildings
in Chester and other towns in the UK.

| (...) After searching exhaustively on Google (well, as exhaustively as 1.5 minutes allows), the "half-timber" was a contrast to using complete logs -- the timbers were split, or (more often, I think) squared-off. Steve (19 years ago, 23-Nov-05, to lugnet.build.arch)
