Construction of houses has not changed all that much in the last 115 years. The average house still has a wooden frame. Instead of using gypsum board (sometimes called "sheet rock" for walls, the walls were made a thin wooden strips called "lath", nailed to the 2X4s. Wet plaster was spread over the lath, forming the walls. Roofs were covered with wood shakes or shingles.
