Yes, it's contemporary with the times, but most dolls/dollhouses/domestic life stuff presented children with the IDEAL home, the IDEAL family life-- everything picture perfect. Nuclear war and protecting yourself from it doesn't seem like the ideal image of American life, does it? What kid really wanted to pretend air raid drills? An unusual bit of reality in a dollhouse.

Maybe that's cause we're in quake country, and they might as well keep it the same.<br /><br />I've seen quite a few bomb shelters in my travels and estate sale hopping.

The room had cement walls on every side. Turns out, like your doll house here, most of that room was under a porch off of the kitchen.

We were taught to put our arms up over our heads. I'm sure this would have saved us all in the event of a nuclear attack. I remember fallout posters on the walls in the hallways showing us what to do. <br /><br />Crazy, looking back on it!<br /><br />I don't remember my parents talking about it or doing any special preparations or stockpiling, and I also don't remember being particularly scared about the air raid drills; it was just something we did like a fire drill. <br /><br />My cousin lives in a house in Santa Barbara that has a bomb shelter. They store their camping equipment in it!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this - really neat (as we would have said in 1962).Patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-54812270511527478242013-01-14T21:56:36.594-06:002013-01-14T21:56:36.594-06:00Holy smokes, Eartha.

I was about 9 years young and it was exciting! You have to remember that most of the families had already been through WWII just 10 years before, also the Korean war in early 50's, most dads were vets, as my dad was a vet, and they knew what the atom bomb was capable of - thanks for sharing this - wish I could bid on it :)aletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956856975705758047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673220276948215440.post-43074699183847405912013-01-14T21:20:09.171-06:002013-01-14T21:20:09.171-06:00We had a fallout shelter in our home when I was a ...We had a fallout shelter in our home when I was a kid. At some point, we stored a tandem bike in the shelter. When I was in college, my best friend and I decided we NEEDED the retro tandem bike. We tried and tried to get it out of the shelter, but when my dad finished the basement, it made the doorway just a bit too small. The tandem bike is sheltered there to this day.
