I want to add a cast iron stove/heater just as a contingency for Winter. Brick floor in the corner, and brick/ adobe veneer on the walls. Good info here.

That's made out of cast iron and required constant tending or it would burn your house down.
You can still buy decorative wood stoves, even regular wood stoves.
You're not going to pay for it, however. https://www.vermontcastings.com/browse/wood-stoves
Nowdays we don't use open hearth wood wasters like the one in the picture. More along these lines: https://www.lamppakuuma.com/furnaces/

It's worth noting that some of that added cost is to meet EPA regulations.
While older uncertified stoves release 15 to 30 grams of smoke per hour, new EPA-certified stoves produce no more than 4.5 grams per hour. Look for the EPA certification label on the back of the stove, or check the current list of EPA-certified wood stoves.

Yes, that's a lot of the cost these days. Fortunately, there are still a lot of pre-EPA stoves for sale out there.

Not decorative enough compared to this one.
As far as I know cast iron stoves can crack, but only in rare cases is you overheat them?

Cast iron stoves can crack. Any wood stove will overheat if you have too much fuel and draw. Grates and bodies burn through and become thin. Gaskets wear out, hinges crack off. There's a whole host of problems with a device like that, starting with the fact it's somewhat more but not really a whole lot more efficient than a campfire.
That's called a Parlor Stove, and wouldn't have been heating your whole house. You'd have fireplaces in every room, possibly a wood cookstove in the kitchen and maybe a main furnace. The Parlor Stove, as it's name suggests, was a decorative piece set in the parlor. That's a large one. Most probably wouldn't be purchasing something that fancy, opting for a large cookstove instead if they were going to heat with wood - or simply using fireplaces in a really old home.
A comparable piece from a local dealer, M.S. Frazier of Frazeysburg, OH was $24.95 in 1914, about $762 today. And remember, you'd need something else as well, so you have multiple devices being fueled constantly with wood - or coal if you had a coal grate.
