Lincoln Memorial

The Lincoln Memorial is a memorial building located on the west end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Background
A large pre-War monument, serving as a United States Presidential Memorial. It was constructed in remembrance of President Abraham Lincoln.

Layout
The memorial is heavily damaged but is still standing. Many of its walls were blasted open, and Lincoln's head is missing. When one first arrives at this location, they are threatened by Silas, who tells the player character to stay away from the memorial. Through dialogue, they may be allowed to enter an entrance to the left of stairs where one is met by Leroy Walker, who leads Silas and the slavers from Paradise Falls, now occupying the memorial.

After talking with Leroy the player character can start the Head of State quest this way, which is one of two ways to start it. One may not approach the memorial itself, as the slavers will shoot on sight. According to the slavers, it is kept under guard to prevent slaves from getting any ideas about freedom, as well as making the grounds for slavery stronger in the Capital Wasteland. One slaver even mentions that the site might even be demolished to reduce the slave society's awareness of Lincoln.

Before the quest Head of State, Lincoln's head is at the Temple of the Union. Hannibal Hamlin sets up a settlement at the Lincoln Memorial and restores the head to the statue if the player character helps him take the memorial from the slavers. If Head of State is completed in favor of the slaves, then three tents will spawn next to the memorial. They will be used as housing for the slaves. One can sleep in the beds.

Notable loot

 * Nuka-Cola Quantum, located in the memorial maintenance room on the ground floor on a metal shelf, near Leroy Walker. It can be stolen with no Karma loss.
 * Five Nuka-Colas in the maintenance room and four in the refugee tent.

Behind the scenes

 * The location is based on the real world Lincoln Memorial, a national memorial built to honor the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. It is located on the western end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C., across from the Washington Monument.
 * If you look closely at Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, inscribed in the northern wall of the memorial, the letter "F" in "Future" is slightly different than the other "F"s. This is because it was accidentally carved as an "E" originally and had to be corrected.
 * The Lincoln Memorial can be seen on "Channel 8: Washington, D.C." of the Prepare for the Future teaser site.

Bugs

 * Sometimes when entering for the first time, the slavers will not be there.
 * Sometimes Leroy Walker is not there, or already inside the building.
 * If you kill one of the followers that you fired near Hannibal Hamlin and his other groups, they turn hostile.
