I am not an experienced floor person or anything, but that looks like regular hardwood flooring to me, i thought subfloor was usually cheap garbage wood that looks terrible, I doubt they would have put work into making a nose on a floor that was meant to be covered up. Looks old too.

To the best of my knowledge it's the subfloor, the 1st floor has the same thing and we can see the underside in the basement.
The house is from the 1850's, so it's very old.

I think I agree with the guy above. I think it was the original floor, there may not be a true “subfloor” in the way we think of it now. In my family’s mid-19th century house, there’s a lot of thick hardwood plank straight on the joists.
