Your electric and gas meters were inside the house? Yeah,
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.....
Pretty common in the northeast in old houses in the cities.
My water meter is still in my basement and I've been reading it every
6 months for 25 years. Supposed to go to electronic, remote read
meters this summer.
I have *never* seen either a gas or electric meter inside a house. Water
meters, sure. Gas and electric? Won't believe it without a photo.
TWIAVBP - If you really think you have seen everything that is real,
then it is time for you to end your journey.

And I can confirm that the photo wasn't Photoshopped. I haven't seen all
of them but are likely 30,000 homes in my immediate area that still have
indoor meters that look just like that.
