In front of my house there are steel pipes sticking out of the ground 7

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,

Vents for a home bomb shelter? There were quite a few installed in the
late 1950's to early 60's. Some were built under the garages, and
others were simply buried in the yard under concrete.

Thats easy to test. Go in your bomb shelter. Look for pipes. When
you find them, put a radio next to the pipes and go outside to listen
for the radio. CAUTION: Since this is a bomb shelter, do not play any
"heavy metal" music or one of the bombs may explode.

PS.
You should be glad you got a bomb shelter, with the state of the world
these days, we should all be building them.
