Description
An account of the resource
Paul Laszlo was an interior designer and architect in Germany from the early 1920s until emigrating to the United States in 1936. He settled in Los Angeles and built a thriving business of interior design. After WWII, Laszlo worked with clients to design personal underground bomb shelters in the event of nuclear war. His interest in this particular topic might be traced to the loss of many of the buildings he designed in Germany during the War.

Title
A name given to the resource
Paul Laszlo (1900-1993): Hertz bomb shelter
Description
An account of the resource
Rental car company founder John Hertz commissioned Laszlo to build a bomb shelter in the backyard of his Woodland Hills, Calif. ranch, due to Hertz' concern over a possible nuclear attack on the Los Angeles area. Laszlo spent years designing the structure, as well as researching the building codes and discussing the effects of nuclear fallout with experts. According to archival material, Laszlo even tried to witness a nuclear blast through contacting the Office of Civil Defense for permission to travel to a military base. The Hertz shelter was equipped with sleeping areas, kitchen, bathroom, elevator, stairs, and an escape hatch.
The Architecture and Design Collection also houses the Roland Coate archive, which includes plans for the Hertz house and bomb shelter addition.

Description
An account of the resource
These drawings display the level of detail and engineering that was put into designing a bomb shelter for home (backyard) use. The specifications take into account any large-scale shockwaves that might hit the entrance and air vents above ground, and the slope of the ground around the shelter.
