Flying the old British flag above the Capitol at Williamsburg, Virginia, this color view shows a building that once housed the colony's legislature and highest court. The original structure, erected between 1701 and 1705, was the meeting place of the Virginia General Assembly and General Court until the capital moved to Richmond in 1780. John D. Rockefeller Jr. financed its reconstruction in the 1930s as part of the restoration of colonial Williamsburg. The April 1943 date places the picture in the middle of World War II, when the flag was flown with the permission of England and the United States.
