Washington D.C., circa 1974
Washington, located roughtly midway along the east coast of the United States in the District of Columbia, is the seat of the United States Federal Government. Since the OSI is a subdivision of the Executive Branch of the Federal government, Washington is the home of OSI headquarters.
Known residents[]
While not specifically established in an episode, it is assumed by his frequent presence at OSI headquarters that Oscar Goldman has a residence either in the District proper or in one of the outlying communities in Maryland or Virginia. Steve's OSI identification card established him to have an official residence at the fictional Washington address of 13537 Federal Street. (Operation Firefly, The Last Kamikaze)
Known ports[]
Washington was serviced by the civilian Dulles International Airport (Survival of the Fittest) and Andrews Air Force Base.
Deconstructed[]
- The building used for the exteriors of the OSI Headquarters is actually the Russell Senate Office Building in real life. The interiors were shot on a separate set on a sound stage.
- Most episodes of The Six Million Dollar Man have at least one scene set in Washington, because Steve Austin is a full-time field agent of the OSI. By contrast, episodes of The Bionic Woman had less frequent scenes in Washington, because she was only a part-time agent. Oscar is more typically shown on that show visiting Ojai, Ventura Air Force Base, or a field office.
