Arlington House

Arlington House is a medium sized house in the center of Arlington Cemetery.

Background
The Arlington House is a mansion located in the Arlington Cemetery that was once the home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The mansion was built at a high point on a 1,100 acre (445 ha) estate that prominent resident George Washington Parke Custis' father, John Parke Custis, had purchased in 1778.

After the Great War and with the subsequent abandonment of Washington D.C., it stood empty. It wasn't until the late 2270s that a raider by the name of Junders Plunkett claimed it as his own, to hide away from the Regulators. Sheltering among the ancient dead, Plunkett also cultivated a shrine to Abraham Lincoln, who, to him, is a mystical figure.

Exterior
The Arlington House can be accessed from the Arlington Cemetery, which in turn can be accessed from several metro tunnels in the surrounding area.

Interior
In the basement, there is a shrine to Abraham Lincoln, complete with flowers and wine. Should the Lawbringer perk be taken, Junders Plunkett will be residing here as well, and will attack any intruder he finds inside the house. Plunkett will most likely be found in the basement, and will run upstairs if he detects intruders. Junders has the unique Plunkett's Valid Points, and upon death, Junders Plunkett's finger, which can be turned in for 1,000 caps at the Regulator HQ.

Notable loot

 * Bobblehead - Luck - On the bookshelves on the west wall of the basement.
 * Big Book of Science - On the table at the far end of the kitchen.
 * Bottlecap mine - On the workbench against the south wall in the basement.
 * Plunkett's Valid Points and Junders Plunkett's finger - On Junders Plunkett. The Lawbringer perk is required.

Appearances
Arlington House appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
Arlington House is actually the former home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The in-game version bears no resemblance to the actual building and retains a look more similar to the traditional suburban houses of the Capital Wasteland.
