Means for and a method of erecting block drywall wherein the blocks, or bricks, are, for the most part, rectangular in appearance and each provided, on their undersides, with a longitudinal and centrally oriented cavity extending the full length of each block and leaving longitudinal, horizontal, contact areas on each side of the cavity for seating on an underlying block in a wall construction, the upper sides of each block being provided with a horizontal and centrally located protuberance extending the full length of the block, there being longitudinal seating areas along the top side of each block situated to cooperate with the underside seating areas on each side of a similar block seated thereon, the cavities and protuberances of the blocks constituting symmetrically opposed mating surfaces facilitating the staking of blocks, one upon another and slideable longitudinally with respect to each other in a vertical drywall construction, the blocks of each row may be provided with centrally located and horizontally and longitudinally spaced holes extending vertically and completely through each block, the longitudinal spacing of the holes being such that when blocks are stacked in standard staggered offset layer relationship in an erected wall the holes are coincident from row to row accommodating the insertion of locating pins fixing the longitudinal displacement of blocks of one row to each of vertically adjacent rows in a completed wall construction, in order to provide greater wall stability space may be provided between the protuberances and the undersides of cavities of blocks seated thereon to accommodate a belt, running lengthwise of a row of blocks, the belt being provided with holes coinciding with the coincident holes of stacked horizontal rows to allow the insertion of locating pins extending vertically from centrally of one block to a position centrally of a vertically adjacent block mated therewith, the pins each being of a length approximating the height of a block.
