All valid points and the assertion that the House Absolute is Mt Cheyenne is cheerfully withdrawn!
As was discussed here recently it is not one of those plot points that is vital to book.
However, I will still cling to the possibility that it is an underground nuclear base; there is a section where 
Severian notes strange hexadecimal shapes (someone on this list speculated that these were the biohazard symbol).
That would certainly fit with this theory.

As I say, I don't think it is of upmost importance anyway!

Tim,

It is true that the House Absolute is not in Nessus. So all that is beside the point. But the Asciians control the region north of the equator where Severian tells us everything is backwards: the freezing caps there are in the North (can you imagine?) and the warmer weather is in the South.
