Front elevation of the Wren Building, College of William & Mary, with the Botetourt statue in the foreground, taken by F.S. Lincoln in 1935. Begun in 1695, the construction of the Wren Building marked the birth of an academic center in colonial Virginia. A series of fires in 1705, 1859, and 1862 damaged parts of the structure but never completely destroyed exterior walls.

During the Civil War, the Wren Building caught fire on September 8, 1862. Although this blaze was extinguished, a group of Union soldiers incensed by a Confederate raid re-ignited the fire on September 9th. The entire interior burned and only a shell of the exterior walls remained. This photo shows the reconstructed version completed after the conclusion of the war.
The Botetourt Statue survived the war despite vandalism and skirmishes taking place around it.
