The IMAR facility of Iron Mountain at Rosendale, NY was a former cement
mine. When Portland cement supplanted natural cement in commerce (except
for the federal goverment's specifications), the mine closed. Standard Oil
of New York developed the space in the early fifties as a bombproof shelter
for their executives. However, when ICBMs were developed, that vision
faded. I still remember the residence and office facilities that were used
for storage after Iron Mountain took over the space.
