Tennessee’s Cold War State Government Nuclear Bunker

07/25/2022

The owner of the bunker wants to sell the bunker
He had mexicans go inside the communications level ripped out the 1960’s celings spray painted floor to ceiling white paint

Spray Painted the floors grey and hung christmas lights up

It has lost the industrial coldwar look

It now looks like a sh*tty hospital morgue but could be restored

He no longer wants to persue looking for the rest of the bunker

11 acres $2,795,000 or best offer he is asking

Ill help anyone who buys it
With all my research

Today we have an excavator coming to investigate several places on the property

We hope to have some questions answered to some of our mysteries

1. The ramp that goes up to the garage level on the inside of the ramp its filled with river gravel. My thought is the ramp on the inside is the tunnel that leads down to the bigger bunker. The excavator will dig on the outside bottom edge of ramp to see how far it extends below the gravel road and see if it makes a right or left hand turn. Then continues further in a different direction downward. If it stops just below the gravel then its just a ramp and not a tunnel
2. Of the few blueprint pages we have on the rear of the garage level. The blueprints indicate an “Areaway” running the whole width of the building.
Looking online its vague as to what is an “areaway” is. Ann Mcguarren the Tennessee state Architect says an areaway is the gap between two buildings. And also blueprints show a strange u shaped structure that maybe an emergency escape ie concrete walls with enbedded steel rungs below ground

3. On the oposite retaining wall we want to see if there is a buried entrance to the bunker. We found a similer illustration to our retaining wall in a construction manual for building bunkers that came out at the same time as our bunker was completed

4 blueprints indicate where the standby power cables come out of the bunker for the Nasscone 1 standby antenna maybe located. My logic to locate the cable and casing where it exits the bunker and use the excavator to follow the cables to the cone antenna that could be buried. The cone antenna is a 77’ fully assembled antenna in the ground in its own silo that would be raised after a nuclear blast.

We have recently discovered through a documents search thats mentions that this bunker also contained Tennessee adjunct general Nunley Office and armory on this site. We are now searching for an entrance to that as well
We assume it enters like a garage with a ramp going downward
