Fallout Shelter
I went with a group of fellow urban explorer photographers to this location. A nearby neighbor let us park in his yard and gave us safe passage in exchange for booze and beer. We happily ran to the nearest liquor store.
The shelter was built in 1967 by AT&T as a precaution in case the bombs fell. It was meant to house 5 people for 30 days to keep communications running.
We carefully made our way through the woods and were greeted with the view you see in the cover image. It was grand!
The out building was completely empty. It most likely housed communications and door controls for the main shelter.
Once inside, you are greeted with the colorful blast door, one of the coolest things I've ever seen while exploring.
Just inside, you had a small storage room with 1960's era communication equipment still on the shelves. Next to it was a bathroom complete with decontamination showers. Heavy springs were everywhere to help with the shock in the event of a blast.
One of the most interesting parts was a room housing food and an old computer cart. There was sugar, baking powder, powdered milk, flour and even bacon bits.
The air conditioning system was massive, and also rested on large coil springs.
This site has been for sale for a while. You could own your very own bunker!
