In 1951, the construction of Bunker 42 began in Moscow in fear of a nuclear war with the United States. In 1956, it became the long-range aviation headquarters. After years of functioning as a bunker for nuclear attacks, it was completely abandoned in 1995. In 2006, it was purchased 2 million US Dollars. It is now...

Thanks for the cool post, Rebecca! I found another article that talks about more converted nuclear bunkers: http://www.emergency-management-degree.org/10-awesome-repurposed-emergency-bunkers/
ReplyDeleteI think it's really cool how the government is able to take structures that have required huge amounts of energy and resources and convert them into places that are usable today. One interesting example is the Bahnhof Data Center in Sweden. It was originally designed to withstand the impact of a hydrogen bomb; today, it has been transformed into a data center run by Internet service provider Bahnhof. It's amazing how it has not only become a place of entertainment like several other bunkers, but a workplace as well.
Ah this is so cool, becca! I like how they made the bunker into a restaurant and/or club. That is also very neat Analisa. I agree with you how it is very interesting for the government to take these bunkers and convert them into places that are still usable and visitable.

I am also amazed by the people who are willing to buy these houses with bunkers. It also makes me wonder how many houses in California actually have missile bunker built during the Cold War. In the past people panicked about the Cold War, and these bunkers just make me think of those Zombie-apocalypse believers, which I highly doubt would happen. Maybe this is one of the driving motivation to buy houses with bunkers or maybe they're just die-hard cold war fanatics

This is pretty amazing too. It's built 26 ft underground. I love how they painted the walls to make it look like they're actually outside. It looks amazing and probably on the good side of the bunkers. Not every family was very rich and able to afford something like this family could.
