A Los Angeles estate built to withstand nuclear war is on the market for $30 million, and it comes with a shelter under its swimming pool
, the property was built in the 1950s by a Hollywood contractor. The house was featured in the book "California Design 1930-1965," where the contractor was quoted saying that he built a nuclear shelter under the swimming pool, which he believed would act as a decontaminant. The shelter is accessible by a tunnel under the pool.
The home no longer displays some other unusual features it once had, such as the purple stripes across its exterior and the distinctive symbol that were both hallmarks of the late R&B singer Prince, who was renting it from former owner and NBA player Carlos Boozer. Another sadly bygone element of the house is a Cold War-era fixture, when a car was permanently suspended off a ledge, where it served as a bar.
