Fallout 4 Old Corner Book Store

Fallout 4 Old Corner Book Store



Entering on the first floor, there are rows of bookshelves within a single-room store. There is a sitting/reading area in the back of the store, near where the second floor has collapsed onto the first. Near the entrance is the check-out counter. There is a lootable cash register, and an enamel bucket with Nuka Cola Quantum inside



Judging by the rubble from the second floor, there may have been computers on the top floor. However, all that remains currently is a lectern with folding chairs around it, and a sitting area with a first-aid kit. There is a skeleton with a burnt text book in the sitting area, on the ground. It is mostly empty on the second floor, other than this.



PlaqueEdit

"The Old Corner Bookstore was originally built as an apothecary after the devastating Great Fire of 1711. Originally the land belonged to Anne Hutchinson, the controversial puritan who was excommunicated and banished from Massachusetts for her "heretical" beliefs and sermons. During the mid-nineteenth century, the Old Corner Bookstore was the home of the leading American publisher Ticknor and Fields. They published the works of such luminaries as Charles Dickens, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Henry Dave Thoreau. Many of those were frequent visitors to the site."

NotesEdit

AppearancesEdit

Behind the scenesEdit

The Old Corner Bookstore is a real-world Boston landmark, originally built in 1712 and was converted into a bookstore in 1829.

While the Old Corner Bookstore in the Fallout universe remains a bookstore, in present day Boston, the building houses a Chipotle Mexican Grill.

In reality, the Old Corner Bookstore is South of the Old State House, and on the opposite side of the street, while in the game, they are on the same side of the street, and the Old State House is South of the Old Corner Book Store.
