The Magistrates' Court of Royston, UK, was built back in 1883, and was used for needs of local police even containing three cells for criminals. Now, though, they are turned into an office, a gym and a utility room, as the house itself was transformed into a family home for $1 million.

Colleen and Chris Otcasek from California were looking for a new house, and finally bought one in Woodland Hills. Their new home didn’t look any suspicious, up until they’ve found a large, concrete-lined hole in their back-yard, which turned out to be a bomb shelter. They were brave enough to venture and go down into the bunker, where they have found a shelter for a family of four, stocked with everything they would need for up to three weeks of staying. They found out that it was built by Alvin Kaufman – a self-taught nuclear engineer, who worked for the US Government in the 60’s. It explains why he knew every danger of the nuclear attack and prepared the shelter accordingly – with several sleeping areas, a water tank, a hand cranked air filter and enough food and other supplies.
