| Appearance |
| This poured concrete structure is similar in external appearance and approach to Structure 19, Arch Type Magazine. 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 covered with vegetation. The banked, curved approaches are parged with cementitious material. The roof is a barrel vault form. |
