Quote HistoryQuoted: The windows look fake. We contracted with a colocation site in Denver once. On the outside, it looked like your standard cookie cutter office building. It was a solid reinforced cinderblock and concrete bunker, essentially. The windows were all fake, it had redundant fiber and power connections, diesel generators. To get in, you had to enter a mantrap and scan your hand on a biometric scanner. If you knew what was inside, then all the bollards, cameras and physical security elements started to become evident. Pretty cool. |

It was built into a neighborhood because it was a rare geographic location in the DFW area that had the capability to hook the building into two completely separate power grids. Take the tin foil off. Why does a data center need a sally port with bullet proof glass and gun lockers? Have you ever done business with AT&T? I have and I totally get it Yep.....looks like a Russelectric transfer switch as well. AT&T Dallas only buys from them so probably AT&T site but those storage racks are interesting. |

I had a couple repeat calls to a house that was melting electrical service cables and transformers. It was constantly running at 400amps even, which is extremely high. A normal 400 amp service rarely pulls 200 continuous. Every time I went there, there was nobody home. Yard maintained, no furniture, no access, nobody returned calls. I could see that the thermostat was at a normal temp through the back window, so that wasn't a factor. It was in one of the wealthiest towns in the US also. Always figured it was a spook site.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Things that stand out to me when speculating about prior use as a government facility. 1.) There are no Kaba X09 locks or wholes from their removal. 2.) The pictures don't show door sweeps for sound reduction under the doors. 3.) The construction is overtly utilitarian. If it was a black site it would probably have waivers from the first two criteria and have a much more normal look. So it's probably not a black site and wasn't used to deal with SAP or SCI material.

Cage may have been for a battery backup to give time for the 250KW generator to come online. The battery room is usually another room totally and I didn't see anything in the pic slides that I would say is a battery room. |

#1 if it was a server farm or an att site, why are there no anchor holes for threaded rod in the floor tiles for cabinets unless the tiles were replaced. We always anchored cabinets unless it was a r&d lab.
#2 most att sites in that area had halon fire suppression systems. They didn’t use water sprinkler fire suppression as I know. If the fire alarm went off while in the facility, you unassed the AO immediately. I worked Telecom for Nortel, Ericsson and even worked R&D for Ericsson over 15 years. Most always at ATT properties. Some collocates. Never saw anything like this house exterior. Definitely interesting. |

Allow me to disabuse them of that notion.  That's a pretty standard AT&T data/switching rack room from the time just after they quit building absolutely everything with overpressure ratings. Zillow claims it was built in 2000, that'd be about right. The storage racks would stock supplies for the crews that drove the bucket trucks that parked behind that wall every night and could respond to the unmanned sites in close proximity to that one. By AT&T standards this is a fairly unimpressive facility with the bare minimum of secret squirrel charm.  Most of us probably live within ten miles of such facilities, many of us live within that distance of far more impressive buildings. I know I do.

I got this figured out now......
As the many posters have concluded, it was an AT&T site......with a huge twist. This is also the location of the dominion servers, which where used by Democrat operatives (FBI maybe?), working with AT&T....to steal the election. The storage pallet racks where used to store the fake state/county ballots as they arrived/were shipped out as they were needed in the election. After the work had been completed, and creepy joe w/ the ho were safely in power....they disbanded the site, and now are just going to dump it onto the market. They figure whomever buys it, will gut it and create a home or whatever, thus destroying the rest of the evidence that any of it ever happened. |
