Capitol of the Commonwealth

Twilight lends a gentle light to the reconstructed capital building in colonial Williamburg. The House of Burgesses met here from 1705 to 1779, when the capital was relocated to Richmond, Virginia. This capital, was rebuilt in 1934 based on the original colonial revival style and floor plan of 1705.
