This view of the south and east facades of the Courthouse shows the building with its unique cantilevered entrance porch. This original building was constructed shortly before the Revolution, and it is surmised that stone columns intended to support the portico never arrived from England. A unique 18th-century feature is the original weathervane on the cupola.]]>2021-03-23T17:08:13-04:00

Description
A prominent colonial building still standing in Williamsburg in 1875, the Courthouse had played a more recent role in the Civil War as a hospital and morgue after the Battle of Williamsburg. Portions of the interior received significant damage during this period. The building was repaired and resumed its function as a city courthouse after the war. The photo captures the structure's central location on Market Square, where residents gathered on its steps to mingle and converse.

View of the front elevation of the Courthouse of 1770 from across Duke of Gloucester Street, taken by F.S. Lincoln in 1935. One of the eighty-eight original structures at Colonial Williamsburg, the Courthouse stood on this site from 1770 onwards but underwent a number of minor modifications in the nineteenth century. It was restored to its colonial appearance and opened as an exhibition building in the early 1930s. The Restoration Archaeological Exhibit housed inside offered early museum visitors an opportunity to learn about eighteenth-century artifacts uncovered by archaeologists working in tandem with architectural historians.

This view of the south and east facade of the Courthouse shows the building with its unique cantilevered entrance porch. This original building was constructed shortly before the Revolution and it is thought that the stone columns intended to support the portico never arrived from England. At the time of this photograph, the building contained an archaeological exhibit but has since been restored to its original appearance as a colonial courtroom.
