On November 19, 2007, the Tuttle post office building, a historic field stone structure created in 1938 as a WPA project, was significantly damaged after a furnace ignited and fire gutted the building. The resulting smoke plume was visible for many miles. Although the fieldstone walls still stand, the future of this building is in doubt.

Diefenbunker: Canada's Cold War Museum
The Bunker was essential to the continuity of government in the event of a nuclear crisis. Not only was there an executive government in the form of the War Cabinet, but select government departments had to function as well.
Eighteen offices on the 300 and 400 level would have provided 24-hour support to their respective ministers. Look down the corridor and you’ll see the Department of Transportation, the Department of Public Works, and the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources.
Government agencies were also part of the Bunker’s operations. For example, the Canadian Housing and Mortgage Corporation had an office here. This agency would have helped establish temporary accommodations for displaced citizens.
Take a look into the recreated offices, making note of the desks. Bunker psychologists determined that bright colours would help people in a lockdown situation cope with catastrophic conditions up top. These offices reflect that design decision.
