I believe the answer is:

adobe

(Other definitions for adobe that I've seen before include "Clay for mud bricks" , "Mexican mud and straw brick, and the hut made of it" , "house" , "Sun-dried brick clay" , "Clay used for sun-dried bricks" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Wall Street Journal.
