Next Exit - Missile Love

What does your dream house look like? How about an Atlas-E nuclear missile silo? This Nebraska couple has transformed a relic of the cold war into their 15,000 square foot dream house. We'll take a look inside at the renovations, but we'll have to knock hard. The front door weighs forty seven tons.

Enjoyed this. I was stationed at Ellsworth AFB, S.D. in the 80s and often drove down to Denver Colo along hwy 85 in Wyoming. Somewhere south of Torrington is an exact silo like this one. I was thinking thes were Titan sites, Thanks for the correction. I'm sure that by now it is a home but i remember the most peaceful moment of my life walking topside. There was only the sound of the wind, some birds and the sound of thunder from a very distant storm. How better does it get from there.

Does anyone else think it's bizarre that John Lennon's "Imagine" is playing in the background?

Hi q123477, I also live in Ohio. I have been looking for something like this close by to check out. Have you found out if there are any in Ohio? Thanks for the help my friend.

They may be obsolete but they would be really cool houses and look like they would be fun to explore by urbex rules (take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints) I just wish I knew of some in Ohio.

It was an bad idea 60 years ago when they were implemented. Yet 58 some odd were built at HUGE cold war prices to be used for about 4 years and then "decommissioned" as OBSOLETE prior to 1965. Most were sold to local school districts for one dollar. They fell into huge disrepair and many are waterlogged decaying relics of a bygon era of fear. Dangerous as well because teens like to break into them and "tag" them (spraypaint the walls. It is common) they break in thru the "escape hatch.

No, actually you couldn't.
