Sorry . Must be a bunker .

One of the Houses in Oakland : My Good Old Dad
built a Small Bomb 'Shelter' -circa-1950s
Just a Small 5'x8' Room with 4-Chairs and 2-Cots
Sleeping Bags; Food & Water + Supplies [Radio].
Had a Wooden outside Door with 6~7 Steps Down
to a Metal Door leading into the 6" Concrete Lined
Room in the a Half-Basement.
One thing I Remember was it had an Axe and Pick
inside so we could Chop & Pick Our-Way-Out.
Both Doors Locked and Dad had a Metal Cabinet
inside to Store His Hunting Rifles and Ammo.
Mostly it got used to store Mom's Jars of 'Canned'
Food.
Dad had me 'stay' down there for a Day a couple
of times; just to get the 'feel' of Surviving.
Actually was a 'nice' place to go to escape the
few Summer Days in the SF East Bay.
