The Capitol Building

Before the Great War, the United States Capitol was the capitol 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. As the concept art was commissioned before Oblivion was released and is only meant as generic theme showcasing, it remains to be seen whether it will appear in the actual game.
