3d printed Fergus falls state hospital I got from etsy

Found on the Internet...
I was looking for a shower curtain with an abandoned aesthetic to it. Found some shipwrecks and other stuff. Then I found this. It was billed as "abandoned opera house." I thought it looked familiar and it was. If you're in the know, then you know this one. It's the Grand Staircase from Greystone. Pretty much an immediate purchase.

Recruiting help for a master list
Hello everyone. I’m super interested in institutions and their history. I’m trying to compile a master list of: insane asylums, state hospitals, hospitals, psychiatric facilities, sanatoriums, hospitals, nursing homes, group homes, state schools, orphanages, jails/penitentiaries/prisons, and other government institutions in history. I have a Google spread sheet where I’m keep track of my list. If you would like to help add to the list i would greatly appreciate it. Please comment and let me know and I’ll send you the link along how the sheets basically works.
