When I bought my 1920's era farmhouse in 1969, that was pretty much how 
it was wired, complete with 50 amp rusty fuse box. One of the first 
renovations was to replace all the wiring and install new 200 amp 
service. Very scary stuff - I frequently read newspaper accounts of 
house fires with the phrase "faulty wiring is the suspected cause of the 
blaze" at the end.
