bunker, microwave tower / microwave transmission, interesting place
This nuclear blast hardened bunker, like others across the United States, was built to provide military and civilian communications across the nation. The Fairview site was important in the Cold War as its cable linked Offut Air Force Base near Omaha, NE (Headquarters of the Strategic Air Command) to the AT&T system. One of the bunkers at the site has been decommissioned and sold to a local business.
