“The original design was based on the [1930s] Works Progress Administration movement,” says Supernatural production designer Jerry Wanek of the guys’ supposedly impenetrable HQ in Lebanon, Kansas (really a Vancouver soundstage). “After the Depression, the government built many public buildings in the Art Deco style.”

The Winchesters’ home base occupied more than 20,000 square feet. This first look at the Complete Series’ collectible booklet shows illustrator and storyboard artist Andrei Andrianko’s concept sketches for the multilevel Crow’s Nest hub.

The booklet’s detail sketches offer close-ups of the map table in the war room (with art director Robert Leader’s eye-catching illumination) and the ornate columns in the library. Fun fact: Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) find the bunker in Season 8’s “Everybody Hates Hitler.”

In a featurette from the boxed sets, Ackles recalls the emotional day the Men of Letters set was dismantled: Speaking to a crew member, “I was like, ‘It’s really sad seeing this get taken down,’ and the other guy said, ‘I’m trying to hold back tears while I’m swinging this hammer.’”
