You can nest all your location blocks in single location / { } block
(and you can put location / { } in location / { }). Just add "location
/ {" before start of other locations (except error page) and "}" after
them.

Also have you tried this one? Instead of plain "return 503;" in server block:

server {
if ($uri !~ ^/error_page/) {
  return 503;
}
...
}

Because even if "return 503" is capable of returning the page you
want, the css/js/image still won't work.
