Notes
  • Significance: The building is an unusual example of the Christiansted town house. Its roof and large dormers give the outline of the building a character allied to the Moravian architecture as found on the Virgin Islands and is very derivative of north European and Danish examples. Details and interior space distribution are characteristic of the architecture of the Virgin Islands. An unusual structural feature is the wood framing of the rear of the ground floor of the main section of the building. There are indications of several building periods and the present structure appears to be the result of early additions and revisions. Its present appearance probably dates from the early nineteenth century.
  • Survey number: HABS VI-41
