Колонијална зграда Капитола у Вилијамсбургу

Изграђена између 1701. и 1705. године, прва државна зграда Вилијамсбурга служила је колонији Вирџинија све док ватра није уништила зграду 1747. Први спрат западне зграде био је за Општи суд и секретара колоније, први спрат на истоку за Дом Бургессес и његов службеник. Кроз фасаде су марширали лучни прозори. Степенице са једне стране водиле су до Већа, предворја и канцеларије саветника степенице на другој страни водиле су у три комитетске просторије. Конференцијска сала на другом спрату повезивала је структуре класичног вијенца, а шестострана купола на сљемену четвороводног и поткровља крова је крунисала све. Иако је западно крило завршено до јула 1703, Керију је требало до новембра 1705 да заврши све радове.

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.
