Marble? Check. Frieze? Check. Pediment? Check. Columns? Check. Yep, that's Neoclassical architecture. The archives are close, but many of the decorative details (such as the column's capitals) are missing. We'll give it an 'A' for effort anyway.

Things are in a bit of disrepair in Fallout 3's version, but most of the little details are there (even the empty rectangles on the walls where there were once paintings).
