Adirondack Estates Silo Home, New York
An Atlas F missile silo in the Adirondacks was reclaimed and turned into a home, starting in 1991. An 1,800 square foot ranch style house sits on top of the underground former launch control center, a two level, 2,300 square foot subterranean structure connected to the silo by a 50 foot long tunnel. The launch control center has been upgraded with kitchen, Jacuzzi and marble bathrooms. The silo itself, which extends 9 levels underground, to 185 feet below the surface, has not been substantially redeveloped. The site sits on a private airstrip, called Adirondack Airpark. The home has been on the market for years.
