Arlington House

Arlington House is in the center of Arlington Cemetery.

Background
Inside the house is the Bobblehead - Luck, located on the bookshelves on the west wall of the basement. The house is good for player housing because there are: beds you can rest in, a Workbench and lockers to hide your loot in. In the basement there is a shrine to Abraham Lincoln (ironic as Lee fought against the Union) in the basement, complete with flowers and wine. To the south of Arlington House there is Mama Dolce's food industry and Arlington/Falls Church Metro and to the north there is Arlington/Wasteland Metro and Arlington Utility.

Location
Arlington House can be reached by:
 * Going through the Arlington/Wasteland Metro ("Flooded Metro") just south of Wilhelm's Wharf, a short bit east of Super-Duper Mart and close to the road to the Anchorage Memorial. (This is the shortest way to get here from Megaton.)
 * Coming from Georgetown to the east and Dupont Circle to the north. The connection is made through the Arlington Utility tunnel, which connects to the DCTA Tunnel 014-B Potomac tunnel that runs under the Potomac river and connects Georgetown West to Dupont West/Foggy Bottom.
 * It can be reached through the Arlington/Falls Church Metro in Falls Church at Falls Church North map marker.

Notable Loot

 * Bobblehead - Luck is on the bookshelves on the west wall of the basement.
 * Big Book of Science on the table at the far end of the kitchen.
 * 2 Safes, 1 in the basement, the other behind a dresser in the upstairs master bedroom.
 * Bottlecap mine on workbench in basement

Behind the scenes

 * Arlington House is actually the former home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. During the Civil War it was used as a garrison for Union soldiers.
 * Arlington House was originally built in 1804 making it 473 years old in-game.
 * The in-game version of Arlington House bears no resemblance to the actual building and retains a look more similar to the traditional suburban houses of the Capital Wasteland.
