6 Homes With Bomb Shelters Currently For Sale

When the Cold War was at its peak, thousands of Americans built underground bomb shelters to keep safe during a nuclear attack. Nowadays these underground lairs are being converted into wine cellars and storage rooms, but some remain as fitting tributes to that previous paranoid era. Here are seven homes with bomb shelters that are currently for sale.

This scene would be merrier if there were garden gnomes frolicking on top of this underground bomb shelter. However, in a nuclear attack those adorable creatures would be melted immediately. Perhaps the gnomes are already in the bomb shelter? Do they know something we don't know?
