Virginia Governor's Mansion - 1722 - a photo on Flickriver

            Designed by architect/contractor Henry Cary (1650-1720) and completed in 1722, the Governor's mansion in Williamsburg, Virginia was one of the grandest buildings in America at that time.  It quickly became a symbol of royal British presence in the colonies and of the resulting social inequality.  The mansion was burned down in 1781 and rebuilt in 1934.
