This is my idea of a retro doomsday home, complete with creature comforts. This is my idea of a retro doomsday home, complete with creature comforts.Barry wants to know if it has a putting green.
That is as fancy as I have seen, but they often show very large and exotic shelters on National Geographic’s Prepper series.
Tough luck if one is not close to it when needed in an emergency, but some people live in theirs full time.
Shelters were touted even back in the 50s. I remember them being on display at the Mid-South fair in Memphis.
It was about the same time that the city installed air-raid
sirens at every fire station.
Vava Boom!
The pool in my backyard happens to be a Catalina pool. Although my house doesn’t have an underground bomb shelter... it does have a rather large lower level “pool” bathroom that is cinderblock on all four walls, and looks to have a concrete ceiling. We’ve often joked that it was probably a bomb shelter of some sort. My home was custom built in 1957, the pool was added in 1959.
