The base structure was timber, walls were typically plaster lath. These were not so long ago that they are much different from houses built today. The biggest difference would be that today, most materials are mass manufactured and very much standardized (sheetrock/drywall, 2X4 lumber, etc.) and of course, there are tools and materials that were not part of many houses back then (nail guns, electric saws and drills, insulation, double-pane windows, showers, microwave ovens, electricity, gas furnaces and central heating and cooling).
