Hall of Congress

The Hall of Congress is the seat of the NCR Senate, giving the name to the district in Shady Sands. It is the heart of the NCR town.

Background
As the most important Command Center in the New California Republic and a symbol of the democratic style government that NCR represents, the Hall of Congress is a high priority strategic target for the enemies of the republic.

Layout
The Hall is the largest and most important building in the town. Both President Tandi's office and the Congress Assembly Hall are located here.

A statue of the Vault Dweller stands near the Hall of Congress, depicting him proudly stepping towards a brighter future. The Presidential Mansion is also situated across from this building, even more heavily guarded compared to the congress building.

Appearances
The Hall of Congress appears only in Fallout 2 and is mentioned in the Fallout Bible and the canceled Van Buren.

Behind the scenes
Although not appearing directly, the Hall of Congress was an important piece of backstory in Van Buren. During the war between the Brotherhood of Steel and the New California Republic, two days after a scientist named Agnes sent an expedition to explore the Boulder Dome, the NCR Congress building was destroyed, presumably by Brotherhood infiltrators (though, in actuality, by Victor Presper). The destruction of the congressional building simultaneously dealt a terrible blow to NCR morale and slowed the republic's administration considerably. It took an entire year for Agnes' expedition to reach Hoover Dam.
