Fates of Civil Defense Bunkers - Old Town vs Windham.

This post is pretty low effort...admittedly. I just wanted somewhere to compare the CD post sites. Frankly, I'm just excited that they might be THE SAME layout.

Old Town's was turned into a prison, sold to the University and then more or less abandoned since 1995. (click to enlarge)

Notice, in the above photo, the two concrete hallways leading into the hillside, as well as the low frequency communications towers in orange, behind the facility.

Let's compare that with Windham's site, which had been turned into county dispatch (something Old Town wanted to do in 1989, but the county said no) and subsequently maintained by the Maine Emergency Management Agency.

 

Look to the left, you can see the concrete hallways, leading into the hillside -- spaced like Old Town's and complete with low frequency orange towers. The aerial photo above shows that the building you see in the photo below had been added to the top of the bunker structure.

That's really about it. 

Now...to see if I can find two concrete hallways somewhere in Milo or Caribou....
