My son bought a 107 year old house. I spent a few hours pulling out old dead wires from the basement; its been rewired a few times, but they didn't bother to remove anything. Not to mention lots of old pipes and ducts; but those aren't easily removed. There are a few things I don't understand. Well, more than a few things, but these are the oddest.

This is in the basement floor. It measures maybe one by two feet. The white pipe is a drain from the A/C. There is an empty piece of conduit going into it, and a black cable goes to it from the electrical panel. There are two 1/2" copper pipes coming out of it, cut off at the surface.
The inspector said he had no idea what it was.

This is in the backyard. If it was in the front I would figure it had to do with the sewer, but can't imagine why it would be in the backyard.
Any ideas.
