Matt,

Just contact the previous owner(s) and ask them. Seems easy enough. Send a photo. They'll tell you.

This has my vote, assuming this is a one-story structure. Or the previous family was really tall.

The three arched things are decorative pieces of house. The round thing is probably a siren for an alarm. My SIL house has a light instead. The green cube thing is probably a vent. Looks similar to a dryer vent.

....could it be.....the light in the Piazza......???

Green box could be an alarm system horn or could be some type of weather monitor. Not a vent with 3 small holes in a big box.
