Sorry forgot to answer your other questions, the style of house is called a Florida cracker shack, that being said it predates traditional cracker architecture and has some pioneer log cabin architectural features. I guess you could say it was proto-cracker architecture as most of the cracker architecture was late 1700 early 1800's.

Most of it is original, the wood stove is still in the house but used as a fireplace and was replaced by a gas stove. My uncle added AC back in the 80's. The only addition that I know of, was the addition of a real bathroom back in the 60's before that there was a outhouse located about 20 yards behind the back door. It's claim to fame is that both Elvis and Woodrow Wilson had both sat on it, it is dilapidated but still stands and yes I did sit on it as a child just to say I did.
