My brother-in-law and sister-in-law had a house that was built in 1957, he told me it had a storm shelter. I went to look at it when they bought the house and informed him that was a bomb shelter. This thing was separate from the house and was built into a hill, you walked into it through a steel door and it had a ventilation system that looked like a hand cranked sort of thing. It was a long concrete room that had rods hanging from the ceiling so you could hang a curtain to divide the room up. The ceiling of this thing looked like bridge girders so this thing was built to last. Basically you had a fallout shelter and only would have to remain in there for about 2 weeks if I recall correctly.
