I have a stone & mortar foundation in MA, built in 1926. I tore down  
the 1970s knotty pine wall and came across a 3/4" iron pipe coming  
through the foundation like a water pipe would. Except it's only a  
foot below the ground. Keyspan has no record of there being gas at  
the house but there is gas at the street. Could it be anything other  
than gas? It's capped off but there's no valve. There's also a  
disconnected iron pipe up in the joist bay with an elbow  that lines  
up with this, but no holes in the subfloor.

Keyspan's coming out next week for a look.

thanks,
jim
