Everyone who visits Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, U.S. can enter through the elegant entrance in the back of the Colonial Governor's mansion. Of course back when the colonial governor lived there, I suspect entering uninvited wouldn't be encouraged.

I loved my visit to Williamsburg but it was so long ago. Thanks for the shot of this elegant building. I need to go again and see it with photographer's eyes.
Actually our family went to Williamsburg 2 or 3 years ago. Remember that building. Good capture.
On behalf of the ABC Wednesday team, thank you! - ROG
Oh, it is just beautiful, Carver! Very E-for-elegant!!

Yes, it is indeed an elegant entrance. Been all over the world and US but haven't visited this place. Guess I'd better get going!!
That's the British royal coat of arms above the doors is it not?
Exquisitely elegant!
Beautiful.
Gosh, I have not been there in a long time...
That is truly elegant! Excellent post!
Oh! This is beautiful.
That is a magnificent Coat of Arms!
Ornate!
The entrance is elegant indeed!
A very grand entrance - the coat of arms is spectacular.
What a lovely building!
Isn't that coat of arms of Britain!?
What a beautiful "Crest" Very Elegant.
how awesome! elegant indeed!
Check out my ABC Wednesday entry as well. Much appreciated!
Thanks to everyone for visiting. Several have asked if the coat of arms is a British one. I assume it is since this was the colonial Governor's palace and seven Royal Governor's lived there followed by Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson drew up plans for renovating the palace when he was the Virginia governor but they weren't implemented as the decision was made to move the government to Richmond, VA. Most of the palace is as it was during the Royal Governor's time but they do discuss, in the tour, when Patrick Henry was Governor and also have some of Jefferson's drawings when he considered changes during his time there.
