Object
McClane Farmhouse (Occupied Idaho House)
A weathered rural farmhouse on private Idaho property, now the locus of a violent standoff and law‑enforcement raid. The building reads as lived‑in—faded siding, shuttered windows, and barricade traces reported by officers—and carries the physical imprint of armed occupation. Characters do not enter the structure during the banquet; instead, its seizure and the report that the FBI negotiator lies critically wounded reverberate through the formal dining room, producing nausea, recoil, and a sudden collapse of hope in negotiators.

Significance
Functions as the narrative fulcrum that escalates the crisis: its forcible taking and the negotiator's shooting convert a contained negotiation into a public emergency, shattering Mandy's hope for peaceful resolution and forcing the administration to mask catastrophe beneath ceremonial duties.
