==Description==
The Craske Museum, an [[African Art Museum]] and once an attraction for outsiders, never got much attention from the residents of [[Heytown]] themselves. Built in the 1950's, its unremarkable architecture blends in between the buildings in which it is nestled. The Mueseum, named after Walter John Craske, a collecter of African artifacts, and a one-time adventurer in the Congo and the jungles of Nigeria, contained mostly African artwork, historical artifacts, and visual timelines of Africa's history. It also featured other exhibits, however, including an exhibit on Chinese inventions, Russian artwork, and a short-lived exhibit on the trend of decorating Automobiles, which was vandalised beyond repair three days after it opened, costing the museum thousands of dollars.
'''Goldney Place Police Department''' is a '''[[Malton Police Department]]''' substation for southern '''[[Heytown]]'''.<br>
 
The Goldney Place station is one of two police departments in [[Heytown]], the other being Chaffey Alley Police Department [74,32] to the north-west. The Goldney station is in the south-eastern portion of the suburb, on the border of [[Spracklingbank]].<br>
After the Outbreak, the Museum was taken over by unaffiliated survivors, due to its strategic nature. It is squeezed in the middle of what is known as the [[Craske Triangle]]: [[the Usher Building]](a [[Necrotech]] Laboratory), [[Cornelius General Hospital (Spracklingbank)|Cornelius General Hospital]] in [[Spracklingbank]], and [[Goldney Place Police Department]]. This gives the Museum a fortress-like quality, which has made it an important position to hold in Heytown.  


==Barricade Status==
[[Image:MadCraske.jpg|right|thumb|240px|Old Posters Decorated with a Local Groups Graffiti]]
The stationhouse should be maintained at VSB++ unless under siege as per the Heytown Barricade Plan. This building should never be over-barricaded. Young survivors need to collect supplies.<br>
In late 2006, a small group of Survivors took control of the museum, during a siege of the triangle. As all involved were rather angry at the situation, and the base of their operations was the Museum, they called themselves the [[Mad Craskers]]. They control the museum to this day, and their graffiti can be seen on old museum banners.
The '''[[Heytown Barricade Plan]]''' is in compliance with the '''[[Uniform Barricading Policy]]'''
==Revives==
The main '''[[Revive Point]]''' (RP) for the area is '''[[Mester Square]]''' [77,35], three blocks north-west of the police station. The Mester RP provides the quickest revive times (unless the suburb is under attack.)


==Current Status==
The Craske Museum is often the center of activity in southern [[Heytown]], due to its resources. However, it is less frequented than [[the Bowles Museum]], due to Bowles' close proximity to [[Dowdney Mall]], in [[Santlerville]].

==History==
===Barricade Policy===
The Goldney Place Police station is part of the '''[[Craske Triangle]]''' and for the last ten years has been defended by the '''[[Mad Craskers]]''', as it is located one block south of the Crasker's headquarters.
As the headquarters of the [[Mad Craskers]], the Craske Museum is to be kept Extremely Heavily barricaded at all times, per the Heytown Barricade Plan, to protect the valuable artwork and artifacts, and to keep the Museum safe for control of the [[Craske Triangle]].

The Craske Museum, a derelict metal and glass building with revolving doors, its African Art Exhibit ransacked by looters.


The Craske Museum, an African Art Museum and once an attraction for outsiders, never got much attention from the residents of Heytown themselves. Built in the 1950's, its unremarkable architecture blends in between the buildings in which it is nestled. The Mueseum, named after Walter John Craske, a collecter of African artifacts, and a one-time adventurer in the Congo and the jungles of Nigeria, contained mostly African artwork, historical artifacts, and visual timelines of Africa's history. It also featured other exhibits, however, including an exhibit on Chinese inventions, Russian artwork, and a short-lived exhibit on the trend of decorating Automobiles, which was vandalised beyond repair three days after it opened, costing the museum thousands of dollars.

After the Outbreak, the Museum was taken over by unaffiliated survivors, due to its strategic nature. It is squeezed in the middle of what is known as the Craske Triangle: the Usher Building(a Necrotech Laboratory), Cornelius General Hospital in Spracklingbank, and Goldney Place Police Department. This gives the Museum a fortress-like quality, which has made it an important position to hold in Heytown.

Old Posters Decorated with a Local Groups Graffiti

In late 2006, a small group of Survivors took control of the museum, during a siege of the triangle. As all involved were rather angry at the situation, and the base of their operations was the Museum, they called themselves the Mad Craskers. They control the museum to this day, and their graffiti can be seen on old museum banners.

The Craske Museum is often the center of activity in southern Heytown, due to its resources. However, it is less frequented than the Bowles Museum, due to Bowles' close proximity to Dowdney Mall, in Santlerville.


Barricade Policy

As the headquarters of the Mad Craskers, the Craske Museum is to be kept Extremely Heavily barricaded at all times, per the Heytown Barricade Plan, to protect the valuable artwork and artifacts, and to keep the Museum safe for control of the Craske Triangle.

Current Events

Historically part of the Craske Triangle and headquarters for the Mad Craskers.
