"The Capitol, Williamsburg, Virginia, is an accurate reconstruction of the Capitol as it was completed in 1705. The latter was replaced after a fire in 1747 by another building, which was in turn burned down in 1832. The plan is H-shaped, with two apsidal-ended wings. The entrance is through a central linking block which, on the ground floor, takes the form of an open arcaded loggia and, on the first floor, housed a conference room for joint meetings between the Governor's Council and members of the House of Burgesses. Built of brick and basically Georgian in character, the building shows the effect of climate on architectural style; because of the heat of the Virginian summers, the proportion of solid to void is considerably higher than in English examples. The open entrance loggia permits the free circulation of air."
