Indiana State Museum

Description

This place has clearly seen better days. Once, long ago, this area was peopled by the idle rich, and the museum was a prestigious place to meet with friends. Now, its Edwardian façade is badly in need of repair, and half-completed restoration projects (which will likely never actually be finished) dot the outside of the structure. Within, a whole wing has been closed down due to water damage. Many of the remaining exhibits are years out of date and showing their age. Most of the sparse staff seems half-asleep.

Rumors

There are stories whispered in the darkest halls of Elysium of a pair of lovers who somehow betrayed the Prince and are now buried underneath the museum (dead or torpored, the stories never say).

Traits

Physical: Access –1, Safety –1. Only one infrequent bus comes here, and parking is scarce in this neighborhood in decline.
Mental: Information +1, Awareness –2. The museum still does contain a few interesting shreds of information, though no one here cares enough to do much of anything with it.
Social: Prestige –1, Stability –1. The once-lauded area is slowly falling into poverty and criminality.

Haven Qualities

Location 3, Security 3, Size 4. An enterprising Kindred could easily and securely take up residence in the vast, hidden corners of the museum, or else in one of the nearby spacious homes once owned by the wealthy elite, while feeding is easy to come by in this part of town
