Chryslus Building

The Chryslus Building is a ruin of a large office building located in the Capital Wasteland, on the outskirts of Downtown DC. It was the head office of the Chryslus Corporation, which manufactured automobiles before the Great War of 2077. At the time, Chryslus were promoting the $199,999.99 Corvega, which was produced at the Corvega Factory, located south west of Vault 108.

In the years since the war, it has become a stronghold for Super Mutants and Centaurs. On the ground floor there are at least 6 Super Mutants, and are a little tricky because they patrol in pairs. They have quite low perception, so one can sneak up quite close and VATS few shotgun cartridges their way. If in trouble one can evacuate the building, as they do not seem to follow.

Loot
A Guns and Bullets skill book can be found in the northern part of the reception area. A Quantum Cola can be found in a crate under a desk in one of the rooms left of the entrance. A Big Book of Science skill book in the basement area. A Pugilism Illustrated can be found in the upstairs area of the lower offices, close to a Nuka-Cola machine. Look in the row of buckets lined up against the wall.

This building is a looter's dream. TONS of components, packs and cartons of cigarettes, and pre-war money. It's one of the few places in Fallout 3 that richly rewards being thorough checking every nook and cranny. Soda bottles on the ground may not be empty. Crates on shelves that you can just barely see through the handle opening of may contain pre-war money and other loot.

Enclave
Due east of the Chryslus Building is an Enclave outpost that seems to be overrun by raiders. This outpost only appears after The Waters of Life quest. You'll see a transmitter tower on top of a building when you get close. The raiders seem to have split the Enclave loot amongst themselves, as some are wearing Enclave Power Helmets and some are wearing Enclave Power Armor. South East of the Chryslus Building a Vertibird will land and deploy Enclave troops, usually one soldier and one robot.
