Appearance
This poured concrete structure is similar in external appearance and approach to the paired Hi-Explosive Magazines (Structures 54 and 55). All have massive metal doors in a concrete wall opposite another poured concrete wall. A paved road, just wide enough for one vehicle, passes between the facing concrete walls. Roofs are half-round domes (arch type) covered with vegetation. The banked, curved approaches are parged with cementitious material.
