I had a neighbor that had a bomb shelter built into the dirt wall of his basement. It went out under the front yard of the house. They were digging to plant a tree (rather large one) and hit concrete about 4 feet below the surface.
In the basement, the entrance had been walled over many years ago. Now, it's re-opened. It has a floor drain system in case water builds up in there.
We figure that it was built around 1952. The light bulbs are labeled GE Mazda! The wiring for the room was disconnected many years ago at the old fuse box.
There's an old water tank in there, too. I guess the owner was planning to stay in there awhile, if necessary.
