So in the above photos you can see part of the old wiring in the upstairs. It is called knob & tube wiring, basically the first implementation of electrical wiring used between 1880 and 1930. The Knobs and Tubes, insulated the wires and the positive and negatives were different runs. Here is a link to Wikpedia about the history of this wiring - Wikpedia Description of Knob and Tube Wiring. Luckly it is less of a fire hazard than it looks.
