Any idea on the type of wood used for this floor and partial wall? The home is from 1865 if that makes a difference.

Pine? It looks a lot like my floors in my 1905 house.

I could try a guess and I do see some quartered in there, along with what looks like old growth heart pine. That was the prime building material in the latter part of the 19th century in the east. It could be a combination. Not unusual in those days.

The wall? Probably something that grew on or near the property.

I agree with quartered white oak. I do see some rift in there and some prominent ray flecks. the wall also looks like white oak.
