Exterior Blast Door

Outside Entry Blast Door
This is the outside blast door. This door is right next to the sidewalk on the south side of the building near the parking lot. I believe the post next to the door was to secure the door in the fully open position so that large items could be moved in and out of the shelter. The playground is enclosed in the walled in area behind the door. The shelter is the full size of the walled in area.



Air Intake Anti-Blast Valve
This is the intake air ventilator anti-blast valve. This view is looking toward the south corner of the playground area. The vent is sitting on a rectangular concrete pad. The manhole cover between the concrete pad and the wall is the Escape Hatch. The ventilator concrete pad has the date "NOV 1961" written in one corner.



Exhaust Anti-Blast Valve
This is the exhaust air ventilator. This ventilator is in the bushes along the side of the building at the adjacent corner of the playground.

This is the I.D. plate of the air intake Anti Blast Valve. The manufacturer on the plate is Arthur D. Little Inc. Cambridge Mass. They are still in business in Cambridge!
