My grandparents' home on Spring Hill was built with electric service, but
the builder also installed gas lines to the ceilings in each room - just
in case that new source of lighting (electricity) didn't work out and
they had to go back to gas lighting! The pipes were never connected to
the gas line (electricity worked), but the gas pipe outlets remained in
the rooms, and made sturdy hanging brackets for electric chandeliers.
The pipes are still there.
