ABOUT THIS ARTWORK: WILLIAMSBURG COLONIAL COURTHOUSE
Is this one of the original Williamsburg, Virginia buildings or a rebuilding of an original? Such care has been taken by conservationists it would be difficult to tell, but this is one of the original structures. My aim this day was to capture a sunset behind this building to highlight this magnificent structure. The courthouse was decorated for Christmas in December, one of dressed reenact, actors standing in the doorway. The clouds in symbolic colors of red, white and blue. Off to the right of the main building you just catch a glimpse of the pillory and stocks.

The Colonial Williamsburg Courthouse was constructed from 1770 to 1771 in the Georgian style. The courthouse is located facing Market Square with Duke of Gloucester Street running directly behind it. The property was acquired by Colonial Williamsburg in 1928, and was added to the National Register as a contributing property to the Williamsburg Historic District on October 15, 1966.

The courthouse once housed two separate court systems, one being the James City County Court, responsible for carrying out county cases, and the other, the Hustings Court, responsible for the city cases. The courthouse was built with red bricks with white wooden trim-boards and long arched windows with white shutters. A projected portico is located over one of the entrances and is unique in Georgian architecture. The hipped roof rests on an entablature with dentil moldings. The roof is pierced on both sides by a chimney and a central octagonal drum capped with a dome and a spire.

The courthouse was the site where Benjamin Waller read aloud the Declaration of Independence on July 25, 1776, after it arrived from Philadelphia.

The building was used as a hospital for the Confederate Army after the Battle of Williamsburg.
