Wood framing has been around a lot longer than that?

Specifically light framing which was pioneered in the early 20th century and became the dominant construction method in North America during the post-war housing boom.

Light framing can mean a lot of things. Wood framing has been around a lot longer than that. I too owned a house built in the 19th century, stick frame though. Also an addition sometime after ww2. They dug a rotund basement (round brick room) to accommodate indoor plumbing and built a kitchen on top of it.
