The Battens are 1x 2 cedar over cement board, spaced 1'0 on center.

Thanks for asking !

Why was cedar used for the battens and cement boards? Is there a benefit to this vs using cement boards for the battens as well?

At the time this house was built cement board battens were not available in our region.

Hope this helps !
