Here's an example of a type of classic old house built by many homesteaders on the Southern Plains. It's a simple rectangular house with an addition (called a lean-to) on the back, giving it a classic saltbox look. The top picture shows the house around 1908, the bottom about a hundred years later. Somewhere along the way, the lean-to looks to have been expanded and the exterior covered in stucco, both common improvements.
