Ruins and Remains tables for the Atomic Zombie Apocalypse Part I

Part I
Survivors in the Atomic Zombie Apocalypse may find themselves scavenging among the remains of civilization. There are a vast array of building modern man has designed and used and the following is simply an overview of what one may find.

Single Family Residence
A common everyday house. The dwelling place for a single family which for the era is one married couple, 2.5 kids and a dog about 50% of the time.
Most residences of the era are nor designed for long term security and occupation without the services of modern stable society and will become abandoned as the residents needs for food and shelter can't be met within.
In some areas civil defense will attempt to marshal food and other goods held in private residences in others everyone will be on their own.
A small percent of homes will have bomb shelters of varying size, capacity and true functionality. Some will simply serve as tombs for their residents, others will be become deadly little battlegrounds between neighbors and even family, some will be prime targets for raiders and others will be forgotten or left empty by people that could reach then in time.
In areas of heavy fallout private residences offer little if any protection from the ravages of radiation.

Shop
A small to mid sized store generally specializing in limited service or range of products. A wide range of stores could iclude: Electrical Goods, T.V. Repair Shop, Shoe Repair, Cafe/Diner, furniture store, Donut Shop, Music Supply store, Shoe Store, Roller-Skating Ring, Bowling Alley, Variety Store, Drug Store, Catalog Store, Print Shop, Newsstand, Tobacco Shop, Clothing Store, Barber Shop, Jewelry Store, Hardware Store,Bakery, Butcher,Green Grocer, Cinema, bank. Shops will be poorly defended (if at all) aside from food stores and prone to fire, vandalism and looting. Limited shelter from radiation may be found in subbasements or windowless storage rooms.

Shop with apartment(s) over head.
A shop as above with 1 to 3 stories above it containing apartments. If the shops have any goods or services the residents of the building may benefit from they will be quick to secure or loot the place.

Shop with offices overhead
As shops above with 1 to 2 stories of offices above the shop. Such buildings are likely to be abandoned soon after the bombs drop.

Sky-scrapper.
A large multistory building with 6 to 21 stories. (3d6+3). A Skyscraper may be solely occupied by a hotel or large business but typically multiple businesses are present.
The first 1d4 stories are usually taken by shops, the next 1d6 will be taken by offices and the remainder will be apartments, either low rent or luxury. Ground floor shops will be quickly looted in a metropolitan area but smaller shops on higher floors may be ignored. Residents may loot or secure shops.
Rarely some skyscrapers have bomb-shelters large enough to fit most of the occupants of the building but only for a few days.
After a time upper floors will become difficult to live in as occupants can be trapped without means of escape, have no easy access to food or water; sometimes however an upper floor may be fortified by residents and used as a point to make a last stand.

Warehouse
Large buildings were bulk goods, raw materials and massive amounts of manufactured goods may be stores. Warehosues are likely to be defend initially but soon abandoned as chaos widens. Some will remain intact for years providing a fortune in goods to those that claim them. Some warehouses may be identified and secured by civil-defense authorities, such locations are more likely than not to become targets of large groups of raiders.

Factory
A factory will be a large single building or a rambling complex of adjacent buildings housing supplies, machinery, offices and even limited accommodations for staff (such as an infirmary, cafeteria and break rooms).

Gas Station
Where to go to get the car fueled up. In this era gas stations were often full service affairs and it wasn't unusual to find a gas station operating with a fully functional auto-mechanics shop. Gas stations could have a rack of magazines, a soda machine, a beer machine, a rack of candy and even cooler with ice-cream treats but really nothing like the convenience stores often found today. In remote regions a gas station may have a small apartment or two attached to make sure staff can be present at all hours.A gas station may have been be secured by local and or national forces. Isolated stations will be prone to looting.

Hospital
the size and range of care available at hospitals will vary widely. Hospitals near bombing sites will be overrun quickly by the needy and soon afterward by hordes of Atomic Zombies. In remote areas they will either become part of coordinated local civil defense or be prone to looting.

Police Station
Police stations can be small 2 or 3 man affairs, staffed by a couple dozen or even hundreds depending on the area they serve. Police stations will attempt to aid local authorities in coordinating civil defense but with the destruction of the civilization as man knew it these limited facilities will hard pressed to remain operational. People may seek shelter and safety in larger police stations only to find themselves and the police officers within surrounded by a horde of the radioactive dead.

Fire Stations
While they provide vital aid in a functioning society these facilities have little to offer in the long term after the bombs are dropped besides often begin sturdy and with limited dormitory facilities. An active civil defense will make use of fire-stations but without ready access to resources the facilities will be quickly depleted.

Armory
The true hubs of the civil defense system. Many metropolitan areas will have multiple armories. The true extent and capability of such facilities will vary wildly and those in bombed areas will likely be hell holes of radiation with those further away being swamped by refugees, further away from bombing sites armories will be a focus of local and national authority and choice targets for large gangs of raiders.
