The White House in Washington, DC used to be the official residence of the President of the United States. The White House apparently sustained a direct hit when the bombs fell. After the Great War, all that is left in its place is a giant, highly radioactive crater.

[edit] Location
The way to the White House is to exit the Penn. Ave Northwest station in Pennsylvania Avenue, go up the stairs, and proceed straight until you reach the building to the north. You will see a manhole cover on the sidewalk at the southwest corner of the building leading to Utility, which connects to the White House.
[edit] Notes
- The area is quite radioactive (6-7 rads/second), so take a Rad-X before going through the door out of the Utility tunnel marked "Door onto Pennsylvania Avenue". There will be two Glowing Ones, so be ready. At the top of the stairs in the White House ruins is a Fat Man, three Mini Nukes, and two units of Rad Away.
- The area is outdoors, so once you have the location and the loot, you can fast travel out to reduce your radiation exposure. (once you are in a non radiated area)
- If you have a follower that doesn't have a default heavy weapon and you did not change their weapon (such as Charon or Clover), he/she may get to the Fat Man first and take it. It's a risk to leave it with your follower, as followers do not take into account the splash radius of the attack so they may stand near or shoot close to you, promptly killing you.
- A copy of Pugilism Illustrated can be found in the utility tunnels. Turning to the right after entering the tunnels will reveal a small camp of sorts. The book is directly across from the entrance. Proceeding straight down the main tunnel will show that the original occupant of said camp had an unfortunate motorcycling accident.
[edit] Bugs
- It is possible to escape the map boundaries by jumping on certain wrecked walls.
[edit] Appearances
White House appears only in Fallout 3.
