Those old fallout shelter stashes are an amazing find. Don't toss out all that old cold war stuff just yet folks! Looks like times might be changing... again.

That's a vacuum operated brain extraction device.

Sam Spade, The Big Sleep, he's the man! Those were some awesome cabinets at one point. Great display for all the jars full of heads.

It made me head for the bathroom.

Have a seat in the lobotomy chair for a close shave and a haircut. Later, they used the fake "hair dryer" things with the skull-cutting lobotomy zip-saws inside.

Served by a Mrs. Olson zombie.

I think those labels had the names of the heads that were in the jars.

Amazing how well preserved this place was in 2006. All the cool vent grates intact, tin ceilings, etc.. I imagine some of those vents went up to the roof vent in the attic, others part of a gravity heating system perhaps. No steam radiators anywhere that I saw.

Those are paint chips, and they're quite tasty.

Strap 'em down in there, "Cya in a couple days, have fun!" I'll guess that upper outlet let the continuous flowing water exit, then the handle was used to open the bottom drain to empty the tub.

Yes, definitely patrolling zombies seeking to eat explorers.

A social outcast, exiled from the rest of the group.

Looks like it has a fake plant in it. I see: "A catharsis is an emotional release. According to psychoanalytic theory, this emotional release is linked to a need to release unconscious conflicts." So I guess a drunken bar-brawl would be a catharsis.

Very nice piece. Should acquire salvage legitimately, but I'd guess a quick giveaway sale would get $500 in a heartbeat. 3 to 6 times that to the person that really wants it I imagine. Could get jail time too. :oD Cool finished attic rooms for torture chambers, er, uh, I mean for the staff to hide and throw parties!

Tons of awesome floor planks! Looks like those ducts lead to a ventilation copula to draw air out of the building.
