My old building used to have that. The building was built in 1912, and it didn't originally have electricity, it originally was gas lighting, and that's what all the ceiling lights were, wires sticking out of the ceiling without boxes, and live gas pipes still in the ceiling! While the building was "rewired" in the 1960's, a lot of the original wire conversion stuff still remained there which dated to the 1920's or 30's. So there was a mix of old outlets and new ones.I remember every so often when an electrician would change the ceiling light or something, you would smell gas if the gas pipe was disturbed in the ceiling, so then that would have to be dealt with too...what a pain. |
