A nighttime photograph of the Capitol Building at the end of Colonial Williamsburg's Duke of Gloucester Street.

Constructed in the 1930s during the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg, this capitol building is a recreation of the original building that once stood here. It was decided to reconstruct the first capitol building because of its architectural uniqueness compared to the second building and better documentation of the original design.

When it was destroyed by fire in 1747, a second capitol building of a different design was built on the same foundation.

It was destroyed by fire in 1832, leaving nothing but the outline of its foundations.

Colonial Williamsburg is in Williamsburg, Virginia.
