Background

Archbishop Walsh was established in 1958 and is the only Catholic high school in Western New York south of Cattaraugus Creek.[1] Constructed at the height of the Cold War, the building's foundation included a fall out shelter for students and faculty in the event nuclear war found its way to the Enchanted Mountains. Today the shelter is used primarily for storage . Students began a tradition of signing their names in paint on the shelter's walls to memorialize their experience at the school.
