When John Sims purchased a friend’s modest home in Tucson, Arizona, he didn’t expect the property to come with a mystery. But soon after settling in, he heard a curious rumor — that something unusual was buried somewhere in the backyard. At first, he brushed it off as neighborhood folklore. But the idea nagged at him. What if there was something more?
Driven by curiosity, John began to investigate. He started digging, not just in the literal sense, but through historical records, local building permits, and archives. His search eventually uncovered a surprising lead: a permit from 1961 tied to a company called Whitaker Pools, known at the time for building not only swimming pools but also nuclear fallout shelters during the Cold War.
The early 1960s were a period marked by deep anxiety over the threat of nuclear war. With the U.S. and Soviet Union locked in a tense arms race, civil defense became a national priority. Across the country, families built underground shelters in their backyards, stocked with canned food, water, and emergency supplies — hoping to protect their loved ones in the event of a nuclear strike.
