Perfect wine cellar. I cleaned and vacuumed one about 10 years ago. The most striking thing to me was the echo. And it wasn't large at all, just like being in an empty bank vault, I guess. This ne had an access in the bottom of a closet and a ladder type stairs that would have needed to be rebuilt to use with any frequency.

It was built as part of an addition to the home, being excavated and the walls poured before the foundation for the addition was put in (part of that being the shelter). So it was under the house. It was far from being air tight or containing any air filtration system.

IOW, it WAS a wine cellar that just never got used. But they were calling it a 'bomb shelter'.
