What time can accomplish

Tree #74 oak with pipe

While walking through Health Sciences Park (nee Forrest Park) at Union and Dunlap, my son Stephen and I saw this pipe swallowed by a tree. If you recognize what this unusual structure is please email me at drnelson1@gmail.com. This site dates back to a civil war hospital, so this could be a very old pipe.

Capped pipe wrapped around and absorbed by this tree's roots June 27, 2014
I will post similar tree encounters with fences, Radio Flyer wagons, and other items on this page.
