Capitol in Colonial Williamsburg, Williamsburg, Virginia



The Capitol, which sits at the East end of Duke of Gloucester Street, like a bookend mated with the College of William & Mary's Wren Building about one mile to the West, was the center of colonial government.  It is an "H" shaped building which hosted the House of Burgesses in one wing and the General Court in the other. In addition to its government functions, dinners, parties and dances occurred in the building.

What an amazing area you live in and so many photo opportunities :)

I loved the 'bonnets and hats' post and also the 'fall foliage on the Colonial Parkway'.

Beautiful photos!
