In front of my house there are steel pipes sticking out of the ground 7
inches away from the foundation. These are 3/4 - 1 inch thick pipes
that extend up 8 inches to an elbow joint. The elbows connect to a
horizontal top pipe 24 inches long. The top pipe connects the two
vertical pipes to each other. The whole thing forms rectangle that
sticks out of the ground.

There are two of these rectangles in front of the house and another
taller one on the side of the house.

Any idea what these could be?

Thanks,

Russ


Remains of a bench? If you put a plank on top, would it make a seat or some
kind of bench or table, seems too low for that but if the planks were thick
or there was more to it at one time....

Sounds like you're going to have to dig a test hole next to one. If they
are anchored in concrete, it may be safe to assume they were once a
component of a lawn decoration and not a utility. A underground tank might
have a fill and vent pipe but they would not be connected together.

Any old neighbors in the hood to ask what was there in the past?
