| Family members test the escape hatch on a bomb shelter built on their property in this 1952 photograph. The construction of privately owned bomb shelters began during the early years of the Cold War, when Americans became concerned about the possibility of a nuclear war with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Here, Mitchell Legler, Nancy Walker (white blouse), and Sandra Legler test their shelter in Bronxville, New York. | ||||||
