Cabot House

Cabot House is a location in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston in 2287.

Background
Located on Louisburg Square, the building serves as the Cabot family's ancestral home, built in 1711.

Layout
The building is in excellent condition, despite its age and having survived the Great War. The entrance is key-locked, but may be opened by persuading Edward Deegan in dialogue through the intercom, or without the need for persuasion if the related quest Special Delivery has already been started.

In the basement is the kitchen and Deegan's bedroom, which contains a Master-locked floor safe and a steamer trunk. On the first floor is a large living room, with the dining room in the back. On the second floor is Jack Cabot's laboratory, with an Expert-locked terminal containing a wealth of information on the family's history. The third floor is initially inaccessible behind key-locked doors until starting the quest The Secret of Cabot House, but consists of corridors lined with uninteractable display cases, a storage closet with a second steamer trunk, and three bedrooms, with Emogene Cabot's bedroom and Master-locked terminal in the northeast corner.

Behind the scenes

 * The Cabot family is based on the real-world Cabots, one of the "first families of Boston." The first Cabot arrived in Boston from Europe in the year 1700, and many business leaders and politicians since that time have hailed from the family. A famous Boston toast jokes: "And this is good old Boston, the home of the bean and the cod. Where the Lowells talk only to Cabots, and the Cabots talk only to God."
 * The artifacts in the display cases on the third floor are real-world objects from the ancient world, including an Elamite roundel, a Hittite wall inscription, and an Indus Valley cow votive.
