A building panel for exterior and interior wall and roof surface includes an elongated body formed of a relatively thin walled, molded hardboard material having upper and lower edges, opposite ends, an outer weather face adapted to resemble the profiles historical or traditional siding and shingle shapes and a back face generally contoured to match the outer surface. The body includes a lower edge portion extending upwardly and outwardly of the lower edge of the panel which joins an intermediate fascia portion spaced outwardly of the lower edge. An elongated fastener receiving strip is formed along an upper edge of the intermediate fascia portion and includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart fastener receiving depressions integrally molded therein. The strip has a machined back face and the machine cut intersects an outer face of the panel around the depressions thereby forming an open slot extending completely through the panel in each depression for receiving a fastener shank for securing the building panel on a building structure. An upper edge portion of the panel joins an upper edge of the fastener receiving strip and includes an upwardly and outwardly extending first segment adapted to underlie a lower edge portion of a panel laid up in a next higher course in a building wall structure. The upper edge portion also includes a second segment which extends between the first segment and the upper edge of the panel, generally parallel of the intermediate fascia portion and adapted to underlie a portion of the fascia portion of the panel laid up in the next higher course.

A building panel for exterior and interior wall and roof surfaces comprising: an elongated body formed of relatively thins, hardboard material, having upper and lower edges, a molded outer face adapted for exposure to the weather, and a back face opposite said outer face and having contour generally matching that of said outer face; said body including a lower edge portion extending along a lower edge of said panel integrally joining an intermediate facia portion spaced outwardly of said lower edge; an elongated fastener receiving strip integrally joining an upper edge of said intermediate facia portion and including a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart, integrally molded, fastener receiving depressions projecting inwardly from the intersecting surface of said outer face immediately adjacent an edge of said depressions, each of said depressions having an inwardly sloping wall surface with a depth greater than the nominal thickness of said panel between said outer face and said back face, said depressions aligned in a row on said strip between said upper and lower edge of said panel, said strip having a machined back surface comprising a portion of said panel back face formed by machining after said depressions have been formed in said panel, said machined back surface having a generally planar face intersecting said sloping wall surface of each depression thereby forming an open slot for receiving a fastener extending completely through said panel between said outer and back faces thereof; and an upper edge portion joining an upper edge of said fastener receiving strip adapted to underlie a lower edge portion of a panel laid up in a next higher course.
