Gas Coal Fireplace?

To be honest, we didn't know this existed until we had bought the house. We knew there must be some kind of fireplace, thanks to the chimney, but we had know clue what it looked like. As mentioned in past posts, we lived in the upstairs apartment of this house for a few years. When we decided to buy, we only did a few walk throughs of the downstairs and had know idea this was what was hidden behind a huge bureau. It is very shallow, and very tiny. The only thing I can figure out that it resembles is a gas coal burner apparently popular during the time the house was built. Does anyone have any clues? Suggestions on restoring it to be used now?


Here are a few links on what I think it could be and possible replacement parts:
