After being rescued from the Blood Harvest you find the driver of your rescue vehicle has become infected, and has crashed behind a massive asylum. The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum.

Why don't you just use hammer? This looks good, just any reason?
Much Easier to replicate a photo by scale, texture, detail, etc.
FeareD is correct. This simple building may be easy to do in hammer in the first place, however Hammer doesn't give me any good reference for scale other then its grid. I would have to eye ball everything.
Since I am working with a real-world building and have reference photos SketchUp has a system built-in that lets me match the model to photographs. And using images from Google Earth I can be sure the building is made to proper scale.
See this link for a video on how to make models in SketchUp using reference photos:
The same process has been used on all my other building models so far.
For example see this photo where the reference photo is still super-imposed onto the model, or look at the building behind this one in SketchUp, it is not completed but has the reference photos attached.

I liked your Flickr pictures of the mod, maybe you could do an Allegheny sign like this one. Forestcamping.com
