How are old/historic buildings retrofitted with modern-day amenities such as plumbing, electricity, and air conditioning?

I just moved into my grandmother’s house in New England. Built in 1825.
Ductwork can be put pretty much anywhere by good (read:expensive) craftsmen. The place has central AC, 4 sector heating – in 1400 Square feet. I don’t know who she had do it, but they did it right.
The only external work are the conduits for the solar and small wind turbine she had put on the roof.
I hadn’t been to her place in 20 years. She passed in July and left it to me (much to my cousins’ chagrin). I moved there last month from the Midwest and am amazed at everything.
