About this postcard

The formal ballroom garden and ballroom wing of the Governor's Palace in Williamsburg, Virginia, seen across clipped hedges and topiary. The red brick Georgian palace rises behind a paved walk with stone urns and steps; its pedimented entrance, cupola, and chimneys are visible. The wing was added in 1751, and the palace shown here is the 20th-century reconstruction that forms part of Colonial Williamsburg's historic area.
