The rock looks better with the stucco off.

It does. I almost wonder if the rendering was added later to aid the waterproofing (but probably not).

Probably there since new, to aid the "Italianate" styling.

And to protect the stone beneath it. Harling is a traditional practice in scotland.

On all the classic big houses in my area the stone's bare.

Hmmm. It's possibly been removed by Victorians who thought it wasn't original.
It did -at some point in time- however become fashionable for the stone to be exposed (even) on new-builds. Especially if the stone was machined or tooled to a finish.
