The Capitol Building



Before the Great War, the United States Capitol was the building that served as the location for the United States Congress, the legislative branch of the U.S. federal government. It is located in Washington, D.C., on top of Capitol Hill at the east end of the National Mall. Although not in the geographic center of the District of Columbia, the Capitol is the focus by which the quadrants of the district are divided.

On May 8, 2007, Bethesda Softworks has released a piece of Fallout 3 concept art by Craig Mullins depicting the Capitol after the Great War, in a largely intact state.

The Capitol hosts a major conflict between the Super Mutants and the Talon Company Mercenaries. An Enclave Vertibird and strike group may be encountered on the steps of the Washington Mall side of the building, while the inside of the building hosts a Super Mutant Behemoth.
