I had a gas-powered one in a small town house nearly 50 years

Builders of 60's and early 70's houses loved those floor to ceiling
'picture windows' made of cheap timber with single glazing. And
before the 1973 gulf war oil and electricity was cheap, while town
gas was never used for heating (much).

We had town gas when I installed my CH system in the late 60s. There must
have been quite a lot of boilers using it since 'conversion to natural'
kits were easily available.
