Washington Monument

The Washington Monument is a large, pre-War obelisk at the center of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It is a United States Presidential Memorial constructed for George Washington.

The battered remains of the monument are still standing, towering above the ruins of the old capital city. On closer examination in the Prepare for the Future website it is shown that it is used as a military position and the interior frame is clearly exposed.

The top of this is one of the highest locations in the game, and through the cracks, you can see past the Capitol Building.

Washington Monument has been claimed by the Brotherhood of Steel shown to the right.

Related Quest
This is the location of Three Dog's Galaxy News Radio broadcasting dish which was shot to pieces by Super mutants, thus weakening the signal. After you fix it, you can hear the station all over the Wasteland.

The replacement dish is in the Museum of Technology. After getting it, go back down into the subway station across the street from MoT and walk across the platform to the Museum of History exit. From there, it is a quick and easy walk to the Washington Monument.

Loot
There is no real loot at the top, other than some 10-mm rounds, though the Monument can be considered of some value as a local base for someone exploring the D.C. ruins, due to the bed at the Monument's peak and the guaranteed safety within.

There is a Missile Launcher and 4 or 5 Missiles immediately behind the monument (inside the barricade fences). Jump on the bench and jump over the broken window.

Appearances
The Washington Monument appears only in Fallout 3.
