Please help me identify the types of wood flooring in my house.

The main part of the house was built in about the 1860's in
Massachusetts while the guest room and kitchen areas were built in the
late 1700's.

The floors are unstained and all were sanded and coated with semi-gloss
oil-based polyurethane about 5 years ago (except for the guest room).

1. 1st floor and 2nd floor hall (1860's)

2. 2nd floor bedroom and 3rd floor hall (1860's)

Thanks for the help!!!

I'm surpised nobody suggested getting a copy of Bruce Hoadley'
"Identifying Wood" and a microscope & finding out what they really
are. Hoadley is in your neck of the woods at the UofMass. at Amherst.
