Hall of Congress

The Hall of Congress is the seat of the NCR Senate, located in the heart of NCR town.

Background
As the most important command center in the New California Republic and a symbol of the democratic style government that NCR represents, the heavily guarded Hall of Congress houses many important individuals and offices within. Official statements are made from the hall, which serves as a centralized location for gatherings. In 2189, the vote to form the New California Republic passed and it was at the hall that a crowd gathered to celebrate and hear President Aradesh give a speech to commemorate the occasion.

Layout
The hall is the largest and most important building in the town. Both President Tandi's office and the Congress Assembly Hall are located here. A statue of the Vault Dweller stands near the building, depicting him proudly stepping towards a brighter future. The Presidential Mansion is also situated across from this building, with its own large contingent of security forces.

Appearances
The Hall of Congress appears only in Fallout 2 and is mentioned only in Fallout 4

Behind the scenes
Although not appearing directly, the Hall of Congress was an important piece of backstory in Van Buren. During the war between the Brotherhood of Steel and the New California Republic, two days after a scientist named Agnes sent an expedition to explore the Boulder Dome, the NCR Congress building was destroyed, presumably by Brotherhood infiltrators (though, in actuality, by Victor Presper). The destruction of the congressional building simultaneously dealt a terrible blow to NCR morale and slowed the republic's administration considerably. It took an entire year for Agnes' expedition to reach Hoover Dam.
