Description
A remnant of the Cold War, Fallout Shelters portended a safe haven in case of nuclear attack. Most Cold War era shelters were decommissioned following the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union. Aging Fallout Shelter signs still dot the American urban landscape.
Sioux Falls (South Dakota) Civil Defense moved quickly to establish a network of Fallout Shelter's during the atomic war scare of the early 1960s. This sign still hangs on the front of the Sioux Falls Food Pantry building on N. Phillips Avenue, near 5th and Phillips Avenue. Capacity is 600 persons.
Image captured with a Canon 5D Mark III & Canon 70-200 f/4L IS USM lens.
For a nostalgic feel, I recommend a metal print of this iconic image of the Cold War. For a modern spin on this iconic image, I recommend the acrylic print with aluminum posts. The standard Fallout Shelter sign size was 10 x 14.
