Farm houses in the early 1800's, in the North East at least, had second stories (sleeping area's) that had much lower ceiling's then the first floor, and all bedroom doors faced the stairs. This was because the heating system, wood stove and or fire places where on the first floor. The heat would rise and to keep the sleeping area's as warm through the night as possible the ceiling were lower to keep the warm air close to the person. Also the Farm houses were built in sections. These sections were built on as the family grew.
The homes had no electricity and using oil lamp's sparingly, due to the cost of oil. Most were made out of wood, some were made using stone and or mud. Most had a small basement, that was used for hanging meat and for storing canning in cool dark area's
