Frederiksted, St. Croix
During my walkabout in downtown Frederiksted, on St. Croix of the US Virgin Islands, I noticed this attractive building with its arched colonnade and Victorian trim.
If you look closely, you'll see that the upper colonnade was decorated for Christmas.
The town was destroyed by fire in 1878 during a labor revolt. Many of the 1700's buildings were destroyed. The town was rebuilt during the Victorian era, resulting in buildings with "gingerbread" trim.
