Colonial Williamsburg - Governor's Palace

The Governor's Palace located in Colonial Williamsburg has had a turbulent history. The project to build the original structure started in 1706 and was completed in 1722. That building burnt down to its foundations and was replaced with a replica in 1934. During its tenure the Governor's Palace was the social center of Williamsburg, frequently hosting gala dinners and balls. A beautiful blue roof tops this square building with 5 windows facing outwards.
