Flying the old British flag above the Capitol at Williamsburg, Virginia, this color view shows a building that began as the seat of colonial government. According to the record, the structure was first erected in 1701 to 1705 and housed the Virginia General Assembly and General Court. John D. Rockefeller Jr. helped rebuild and restore it to its original appearance in the 1930s as part of the wider effort to recreate colonial Williamsburg. The photograph dates to around April 1943, during the Second World War, and was later transferred from the U.S. Office of War Information, making it a useful record of how the restored town looked in wartime.
