Colonial Williamsburg Courthouse

Constructed in 1771, the Colonial Williamsburg Courthouse is a historic courthouse built in the Georgian-style. Made of red bricks and featuring arched windows, a projected portico and dentil moldings, the courthouse has a one-of-kind style of Georgian architecture. Initially, the courthouse comprised of two distinct court systems, one for the county cases and the other for the city’s. It also served as a hospital after the Battle of Williamsburg. It is also the site where the Declaration of Independence was read aloud by Benjamin Waller when it first arrived in Virginia. If you want a glimpse of history, a visit to this landmark courthouse can be a great idea.
