Arlington House

In the center of Arlington Cemetery is the house called Arlington House, once the home of Civil War General Robert E. Lee.

Inside the house is the Bobblehead - Luck, located on the bookshelves on the west wall of the basement, beds you can rest in, a workbench and a shrine to Abraham Lincoln (ironic as Lee fought against the Union) in the basement, complete with flowers and wine. To the South of Arlington House there is Mama Dolce's food industry and Arlington/Falls Church Metro and to the North there is Arlington/Wasteland Metro and Arlington Utility.

Location
Arlington House can be reached by:
 * Going through the Arlington/Wasteland Metro ("Flooded Metro") just south of Wilhelm's Wharf, a short bit east of Super-Duper Mart and close to the road to the Anchorage Memorial. (This is the shortest way to get here from Megaton.)
 * Coming from Georgetown to the east and Dupont Circle to the north. The connection is made through the Arlington Utility tunnel, which connects to the DCTA Tunnel 014-B Potomac tunnel that runs under the Potomac river and connects Georgetown West to Dupont West/Foggy Bottom.
 * It can be reached through the Arlington/Falls Church Metro in Falls Church at Falls Church North map marker.

 * Bottlecap Mine on the workbench, in the basement.
 * A Cherry Bomb, and a few Lunchboxes in the same room.
 * First aid kit on the wall in the kitchen and close to the bed in the basement.
 * Safe (easy) in the basement, as well as one behind the cabinet in the main upstairs bedroom.

Trivia

 * Arlington House is actually the former home of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. It was seized from him by the Union Government due to unpaid taxes. He could not pay these taxes without returning to his home in the North, where he would have been immediately arrested as a traitor. During the Civil War it was used as a garrison for Union soldiers. Afterward, as revenge for his son's death in the war, a Union General ordered his estate used for burying soldiers, thereby preventing Lee from regaining his estate.


 * Arlington House was originally built in 1804 making it 473 years old in-game.
