Anyone know anything about old greenhouses? Bought a 1910 home with a greenhouse and a bed outside that had plumbing trying to figure out what it was used for and if it can or should be used?

Has cast iron pipes outside that were plumbed through the concrete walls but interior plumbing was cut off. Thanks in advance!

Yes, based on the loop pattern I’d say it was for heating.

“Frühbeet/Mistbeet” -in ground early season bed, with a lid. Usually filled with manure (bottom), straw/old leaves(middle) and soil (from digging out). The decomposting heat warms the soil enough to start the season early. When its warm enough and the first plants are transplanted to the soil you can use it for a second run with e.g. salad
