What kind of house is this? Gothic Revival.

East Texas, over 100 years old. Built with square nails and pegs in the window sills.

The oldest deed I have is dated 1882, although it covers several hundred acres. Gothic Revival was popular from 1840 to 1880, so it could indeed have been built in 1882.
