Frederiksted, St. Croix

During my walkabout in downtown Frederiksted, on St. Croix of the US Virgin Islands, I noticed this building with its first floor colonnade.

 

On the second story, you can see a Victorian trim.

 

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.
