Kolonialny budynek kapitolu w Williamsburgu

Zbudowany w latach 1701-1705, pierwszy budynek stanowy w Williamsburgu służył kolonii Wirginii do czasu, gdy pożar zniszczył budynek w 1747 roku. Pierwsze piętro zachodniego budynku było przeznaczone dla Sądu i sekretarza kolonii, pierwsze piętro wschodnie dla Domu Burgess i jego urzędnik. Łukowate okna przemaszerowały przez fasady. Schody po jednej stronie prowadziły do Sali Rady, holu i biura sekretarza Rady schody po drugiej stronie prowadziły do trzech pokoi komisji. Klasycznie gzymsowe konstrukcje łączyła sala konferencyjna na drugim piętrze, a całość wieńczyła sześcioboczna kopuła na kalenicy czterospadowego i lukarnowego dachu. Chociaż zachodnie skrzydło zostało ukończone do lipca 1703 roku, ukończenie wszystkich prac zajęło Cary'emu aż do listopada 1705 roku.

Colonial Williamsburg Capitol Building

Built between 1701 and 1705, the first Williamsburg statehouse served the colony of Virginia until fire destroyed the building in 1747.The first floor of the west building was for the General Court and the colony's secretary, the first floor of the east for the House of Burgesses and its clerk. Arched windows marched across the facades. Stairs on one side led to the Council Chamber, a lobby, and the Council clerk's office stairs on the other side led to three committee rooms. A second-floor conference room connected the classically corniced structures, and a six-sided cupola on the ridge of the hipped and dormered roof crowned it all. Though the west wing was completed by July 1703, it took Cary until November 1705 to finish all the work.
