These are essentially the same design as the satellite facilities in-game.
On topic, that's an awesome house.

http://villageofjoy.com/chernobyl-today-a-creepy-story-told-in-pictures/ Strange to think this actually happened and not even THAT long ago, yet the place looks like something out of a post apocalyptic game setting... (minus the zombies LOL)

Back in the 1960’s, when I was in the Air Force, we lived with this stuff every day. The ICBM silos were one of the three parts of our defenses then, and still are today. For what it’s worth, several months ago on another thread, I posted the following:
To paraphrase the DOD SM-3-11-A Nov 1966 “Personal and Family Survival”:
‘Following an attack that totaled in excess of 5,000 megatons in destructive power, and that 65 percent were exploded on or near the ground, generating fallout …. Then, studies show that a nationwide fallout shelter system has a greater lifesaving potential for the investment involved than any other element of strategic defense, and that it is, in fact, essential to the damage-limiting effectiveness of other strategic defense elements, i.e. an antiballistic missile, anti-satellite defense, and improved antiaircraft forces.’
So you see that’s why those dudes at Vault Tech dug all those holes in the ground around the DC wasteland - they read the book.
