Pepperell Bank Bunker, Massachusetts

The Pepperell Underground Records Storage Center, in Pepperell, Massachusetts, near the New Hampshire state line, was a vault belonging to the First National Bank of Boston, built in 1960. It was shared with seven other of the major banks of New England. Underground space measures 60 by 120 feet, a total of 7,200 square feet. Known as “Location X,” it had emergency supplies for up to 50 people, as well as decontamination showers, generator, and a 16,000 pound blast door. It was located on a 40 acre estate that was also owned by the bank. In 1991, it was bought by Archive Storage Inc, for use as a computer records storage facility. It has been on the market relatively recently.
