Sanitarium of Wayward Dreams
From Changeling Venue

History
The Sanitarium of Wayward Dreams, was once known as the Sample Sanitarium, one of Fresno's first hospitals. If you happen to speak to anyone in their 70's or 80's in Fresno, you will find the majority of them were born in the Sanitarium. Shortly after that time period the Sanitarium was closed down, as Dr. Sample went on to help develop the hospital of the Sequoia's.
A prominent Changeling of the time, bought the Sanitarium, and upon his death, left the Sanitarium and his wealth to a trust fund held by a group called the Vineyard Foundation. Their wealth was predominantly from grape fields in the area of Fresno. The Sanitarium is still owned by the Vineyard Foundation, while their board of trustee's has changed more often than most boards.
Layout
When you first walk into the Sanitarium, there is an open hallway with a wall of various plaques and awards. Most are in recognition of community service, while others are for charitable donations. Some are even awards of various sports teams, shirts in glass frames and the like. The first floor has a few small offices, and a board room where the business of the Vineyard Foundation is conducted. There is also a banquet hall, and kitchen on the first floor, and some common restrooms.
The second floor requires a magnetic security card to enter. On this floor, there is a large common room which is used as the Throne room. There is a hearth across from the throne. Other rooms included private meeting rooms, storage and a library.
The third floor consists of twenty full suites for the various residents that have claimed the Freehold as their home.
There is a small shack on the roof that in the past was used by a Wizened Oracle as a Solarium, but since has been vacated. Additionally it is rumored that a Tunnelgrub once dug strange tunnels in the crawl space beneath the Sanitarium.
