Old Corner Bookstore

The Old Corner Bookstore is a location in the Financial District of Boston in 2287.

Layout
Outside the building is a pre-War plaque and a Freedom Trail marker. The location is the fifth stop on the Freedom Trail, with the code "3:I."

Entering on the first floor, there are rows of bookshelves within a single-room store. There is a seating area in the back of the store, near where the second floor has collapsed onto the first. Near the entrance is the checkout counter with two cash registers.

Judging by the rubble from the second floor, there may originally have been computer terminals on that floor. However, all that currently remains is a lectern with folding chairs around it, and a seating area with a first aid box, a lunch pail, and a skeleton with a burnt textbook on the ground.

Notable loot

 * Nuka-Cola Quantum - In an enamel bucket by the front counter.
 * Racetrack advertisement - Note on top of the front counter.
 * Help wanted! - Note in one of the cubbyholes of the front counter.

Behind the scenes

 * The building is based on the real-world Boston landmark, the Old Corner Bookstore, which was originally built in 1712 and converted into a bookstore in 1829. The building was threatened with demolition and replacement by a parking garage in 1960, but was "rescued" through a purchase by Historic Boston, Inc. for the sum of $100,000. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
