I do enjoy this story- time capsules like this are fun to see.
For 2 years I worked in a bomb shelter that was built in 1958. It had been repurposed to a a County EOC. It was located on the grounds of the DuPage County complex in Wheaton IL.
The internal electronic gear, radios, etc, had been upgraded of course, but the bones of the place were the flower of 1958 technology. 3 foot thick steel reinforced concrete walls, 25 feet underground, and concealed underneath the States Attorneys Office. Most of them didn’t even know we were working directly underneath them.
The cots looked just about the same as these do. I’m pretty sure the mattresses were original as there were a couple occasions I slept down there.
There was even a “hot phone” that supposedly was hooked directly to DC. We were told that if that one were ever to ring sh** was going to get real.
They demolished it a couple years ago. It was an interesting place to work.
