Could be Doug fir, but more likely longleaf pine. Also, the longleaf pine gets considerably harder over the years, approaching qualities of maple. Doug fir will remain pretty soft, actually too soft for flooring, that's why I would be surprised if someone had milled it for that use. Both the pine and the finish will darken considerably over the years given the appearance you have. I have seen in in the decorative millwork of homes over 100 years old. Stuff gets so hard you can't hand drive a nail in it.
