The complex sat untouched as a time capsule from the time it was decommissioned until it was purchased by the current owners in 2003.

The current owners then had the massive task of digging out the access portal and rebuilding the top layer of concrete.

They had planned to rent out the space for storage, but the financial crisis altered their plans, and now they're ready to sell.

Right now, the listing agents are only showing to buyers with "proof of funds or private financing," so don't expect to talk your way into a tour.
