Summary

Significance: Although the original 18th-century design of the Custom House is discernible, both in the building's over-all form and in its details, the addition of a front gallery and a hipped roof above the parapet wall have obscured its authentic architectural character. Nevertheless, this structure is a fine example of the late 18th century Danish civic architecture of the Virgin Islands with typical construction details and architectural elements. The building appears to be in good condition, is structurally sound, and the finishes are good to fair.
Survey number: HABS VI-46
