Description
“House for the Atomic Age”. A Los Angeles estate was built during the Cold War to withstand an atomic bomb, Near West Hollywood, the eclectic compound comprises an 18,000-square-foot contemporary house. Built by Hal B. Hayes, who according to numerous reports was a wealthy Hollywood contractor and a notorious playboy. He designed it to include an underground atomic bomb shelter that could be accessed only by diving into the pool and swimming through a short tunnel; Mr. Hayes believed the pool water would serve as a decontaminant.
More recently, the house was in the news for its connection to pop star Prince, who had rented the house Prince and was sued by the then owner, NBA star Carlos Boozer, for painting the home with his signature symbol and purple stripes.
