In my hometown, there was a family that had one. It has supposedly been destroyed(about 30 years ago) but the enormous concrete door is visible from the street. The door appears to be open a few inches but its covered in vines.

How what is beneath was intended as the most secure underground structure in the mid-Atlantic states
With room for 1000 people and 40 days worth of food, a medical facility, early ICU, Congressional auditorium, and decontamination hallway
Washington Post blew its cover and the bunker was then decommisioned.

I want one of those bomb shelters with a back porch from which I can watch the nuclear glow at night.
