The House has met in Virginia's Capitol Building , designed by Thomas Jefferson , since 1788 . In recent years, the General Assembly members and staff operate from offices in the General Assembly Building, located in Capitol Square. Republicans took control of the traditionally Democratic House of Delegates for the first time since Reconstruction in 1999 (with the exception of a brief 2 year period in which the Readjuster Party was in the majority in the 1880s). However, the Democrats began making a comeback under the leadership of Governors Mark Warner and Tim Kaine , gaining 6 seats during Warner's term in office (2002-2006), and 1 in a special election at the beginning of Kaine's term.
