Long Buried
Underneath John’s backyard, this structure seemed to not have been used by the previous inhabitants. Some wear and tear was to be expected over the course of fifty years with no upkeep, but otherwise, the structure was in great condition. While there was nothing inside it, John and his friends figured out what it once was. While it stated on the blueprints that Whitaker Pools had built the structure, it certainly was not a swimming pool. This structure had a different purpose altogether.

A Historical Find
As it turns out, the structure underneath John’s garden is a nuclear fallout shelter. It was built at the height of the Cold War tensions between the US and the Soviet Union. At the time, the mass paranoia was on the rise, resulting in bomb shelters being built. Behind the scenes, Whitkar Pools expanded their business services to build something people desperately wanted in the era of the Cold War. Instead of swimming pools in their backyards, people wanted bomb shelters. As John was learning more and more about the structure, he realized he was not alone.
