First Capitol at Williamsburg Built between 1701 and 1705, the first Williamsburg statehouse served the colony of Virginia until fire destroyed the building in 1747. The first floor of the distinctive brick two-and-a-half story H-plan Capitol consisted of two large chambers connected by a central open arcade or "piazza."
The building was last used as a capitol on December 24, 1779, when the General Assembly adjourned to reconvene May 1 at the new capital, Richmond. By turns the building served as an admiralty court, a law school, a military hospital, a grammar school, and a female academy.
