In the early 1900s they commonly had small gas heaters inside of fireplace mantles without chimneys to provide heat. Since there isn't ventilation people got sick from carbon monoxide so they don't use them anymore. No it does not work as a fireplace but I'll probably put some candles in it just so I can burn something.

Do you know how old it is? Does the fireplace work?
