Exploring "The Bank"

In 1955, a new type of A-Building was constructed. This building was officially referred to as Storage Structure A-2. It was nicknamed "The Bank" by the Security Police who later patrolled the area. The structure was constructed of reinforced concrete and was similar to Building 260. The structure appeared to have a single story above a basement level, but the above ground level was never a usable space. Its interior could not be accessed, and its apparent windows and door openings were never operable.
