The Colonial Williamsburg Courthouse

The Colonial Williamsburg Courthouse of 1770 was the seat of local government and continued to house municipal and county courts until 1932. One of Williamsburg's original 18th-century buildings and a dominate feature of Market Square, the Courthouse is designed in a T-shape in the style of many other Virginia courthouses. Its formal design elements include arched windows, a cantilevered pediment and an octagonal cupola, which reinforce its official appearance.
