Since they appeared well over 100 years old and were almost totally obstructed by growth I was curious.... I searched online and found a very interesting blog post about what they were and the history of the property.
The pillars marked the entrance to the "Mac Alpine mansion" which was built in 1867 and demolished in the 1970's.
I got the information from a discontinued blog about the Riverdale area from 2007 which has not been updated in 7 years but is still online.
Read about it here, very interesting!
