It has a steep and rugged topography. The central east-west spine of the island rises to elevations of more than 1200 feet above sea level in less than a mile from the shore­ line. This is deeply indented with sheltered bays backed by white sandy beaches between craggy cliffs and formidable rocky promotories. The hill­ sides are gouged out by deep V shaped valleys that terminate in small al­ luvial plains behind the more protected bays. The climate is oceanic and sub-tropical with an annual -average temperature of 80° Fahrenheit and with a mean temperatiire fluctuation between seasons of 5° Fahrehe.lt. The park is covered by a heavy vegetation, except for a few small areas maintained open for visitors use or on inholdings for agricultural or gardening pur­ poses. The vegetation varies from a high sub-tropical forest along the high ridges and in the drainage areas of the hillsides through an almost impenetratable dry forest and bush to a cactus scrub- on the drier slopes of the east, south and southwest of the island. There are no permanent lakes or streams on St. John, although several of the intermittent streams that drain the hillsides during heavy rains retain fresh water pools year round and behind the shoreline of most of the valleys there are brakish ponds with mangrove growth. jrm No Ifi-SOOa lev 10-74) UNlTtD STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NPS USE ONLY RECEIVED DATE ENTERED CONTI NUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER With the existing vegetative cover the most prominent man-made features of the Park landscape are the roads and trails that generally follov the cart roads established in the l8th century and the ruins of former plantations. In 1728, 91 plantation lots were listed for St. John. About half of these were claims that had either not been developed or surveyed. Seventy-two (72) years later the P.L. Oxholm map records 68 plantations outside the villages of Cruz and Coral Bay. Of these, Ul are within the established Park boundary. At present, there are 1+5 known historic properties within the Park boundaries; 31 of these are on Park property with a total of 236 classified structures. 17 classified structures are still roofed or have retained vestiges of roofing and 9 are maintained in use. All others are in various stages of ruins, from masonry walls.standing to full height, to barely discernible traces of footings. All these are defined as structures by the National Park Service Management Policies. The most conspicuous in terms of volume and size are the remains of the Sugar Plantations. These are found in the areas .of higher precipitation along the ridges and the north coast and in the valleys of the south coast where drainage from the hillsides provided favorable growing conditions for sugar cane. Less prominent are the more modest facilities required for cultivation of cotton and raising of livestock located in the drier areas to the east and south. The remains of public buildings, schools, custom­ houses •! ! arm No ip-300a lev 10-74) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NPS USE ONLY RECEIVED DATE ENTERED CONTINUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER 7 PAGE 3 I and the single fortification on park property, an earthwork "battery, are due to their modest sizes equally inconspicuous. Churches and inqportant government "buildings are in or immediately adjoining the villages of Cruz and Coral Bay outside the Park boundaries. During the l8th and 19th century when St. John was intensely cultivated both the clustered buildings of the plantations and the individual structures were prominent features in a landscape of open fields that in many instances stretched up over the surrounding hillsides interspersed with patches of forest and bush on terrain unsuitable for cultivation due to its steepness, poor water retention or soil. These "farm centers" were scattered throughout what is now the park from 1/5 of a mile to 3/h of a mile apart. (See attached copy of P.L. Oxholm Map). With the collapse of the plantation economy and the resulting slackening of agricultural activity and decrease in population the fields gradually • during the late 19th and early 20th centuries reverted to a natural growth of bush and forest which by now has engulfed most of the buildings of former plantations. The "Virgin Islands National Park has now a semblance of the wooded island described by early European explorers of the West Indies.

ARCHITECTURAL COMPONENTS The 18th and 19th century architecture represented in the multiple resource area: of the Virgin Islands National Park is rural in character and generally utilitarean in purpose. Its ruinous and fragmented remains makes an evalua­ tion of style and design quality difficult since most has deteriorated and in almost all cases masonry finishes and the woodwork which were important architectural features have been lost. General conclusions on architectural character, jrorkmanship and design q.uality must therefore, rely heavily on traces, the few relatively well preserved examples still extant and compari­ sons. It is apparent from traces in standing remains alone that design and archi­ tectural consideration extended to factories, mills, service buildings and other utilitarean structures as well as Great House and residences where you would normally ejqiect it. There is considerable variation in the extent and complexity of the different plantation sites as well as in the scale of their buildings. Buildings that can positively be identified with the l8th century are in general smaller than i >rin No. ip-300a ev. 10-74) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OK THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE f 3 NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NPS USE ONLY RECEIVED DATE ENTERED CONTI NUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER J PAGE 5 '. those of the 19th centiary. In early sugar factories the various functions of the sugar and rum production * such as the boiling down of the cane Juice, curing, distilling, etc., axe of­ ten housed in separate one story buildings while in late l8th century and 19th cent-ury examples these different functions came under one roof and the fac­ tories expanded in size and in most cases became two stories and a. few ■ even three stories high with a comparable expansion in size and number of the ancillary buildings. The same generalization can be made for the great houses and the more impor­ tant residences, although as a building type they remained static. Their main floor, on St. John most often of wood, stood on a raised platform or a full and exposed basement story and was reached by often elaborate and im­ pressive exterior masonry staircases (Dennis Bay). Cabins and more modest dwellings on the other hand did not have a corresponding development and re­ mained right into the 20th century essentially a 2 room, one story building raised only slightly above the surrounding grade. The most common masonry construction method is rubble masonry of locally av­ ailable field stone set in a lime mortar with a liberal use of imported bricks for framing door and window openings, arches, quoining of corners and in de­ corative features such as cornices, banding and staircases (Brown Bay).

There are a few instances of ashlar masonry of im­ ported lime and sandstone (L'Esperance). Where this type of masonry and coral block occur it was generally left ex­ posed. Rubble and most brick maseiuTr has traces of either a parged or plaster finish. Brick, clay tile and Gotland limestone flagging is used widely in masonry floors and the many fragments of clay wing tile, both glazed and unglazed, found on several plantation sites, indicate that it was not unusual as a roofing material. Daub and wattle was used extensively not only in cabins and other smaller buildings but also in larger structures of an early date. Within the park this’ construction has not survived ex­ cept as imprints on the low masonry bases that supported them. Judging from old photographs palm thatch roofing was the rule on this type of bui­ ldings . Architectural ornamentation such as articulated and molded bases, projecting quoins, keystones, rosettes and banding of masonry occur frequently in. prin­ cipal buildings of the plantation of both the l8th & 19th centuries. The treatment of these features is generally restrained and more liniar than sculptural in quality. .! :A <ev 10-74) UNITED STATlfS DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NFS USE ONLY RECEIVED ■' ■' ■ !'

In the 19th century remains neo-classic detailing are coimuon and well handled hut with a West Indian flair of its own (Reef Bay). The different buildings of a plantation are clustered within a fairly re­ stricted area of reasonably level land. The location of this cluster within the land area of the plantation is dependent on road and boat access. In most cases the managers’or the owners'residences is included within the pro­ duction area but in a few instances it is removed as much as \ mile/from these activities and placed on higher ground overlooking the factory and its associated buildings. For cotton and livestock plantations there does not seem to be a fixed pattern to the placement of the different facilities. On sugar plantations, however, the horsemill and windmill; where the latter occurs, is placed on higher ground than the.factory or raised by earthworks in flat terrain. The baga^e sheds are placed in close proximity to both the mill and the factory and the still with its cistern is either built on to factory or placed close to it. This pattern was dictated by the reliance •of an gravity flow in the sugar production. The slave quarters, the so-called "village" was placed on the periphery of the production center but without any specific relation to the other buildings of the cluster. rmNo ip-300a BV. 10-74) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OKTHt INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE STATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NPS USE ONLY RECEIVED DATE ENTERED CONTINUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER On flat ground the cabins vere laid out in a grid and on steeper terrain in a pattern dictated by the contours of the land.

ARCHEOLOGICAL COMPOHEHTS; Most of the Historic Districts within the Virgin Islands National Park can be assumed to be potential historic archeology properties. In the process of stabilizing the ruins of Annaberg Sugar Factory and Reef Bay Factory in the late 50ties and early 60ties, a number of tools, implements and other artifacts were salvaged and recorded in the process of removing surface de­ bris. Additionally, several sites have a quantity of surface fragment of pottery, glass and metal, etc., indication of prolonged occupation of the area. iJ. irm No 1p-300a ew. 10-74) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OE THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NPS USE ONLY RECEIVED :v" ■ ... ■ • ' ’!

SURVEY METHODOLOGY: During 1972-76, surveys were conducted of the Cultural Resources of the Vir­ gin Islands National Park. They were directed towards collecting information for nominations to the National Register and for listing of Classified Struc­ tures within the Park’s boundaries or properties-in the ownership of the National Park Service. The surveys were conducted by Park Historian Don Adams, Volunteer in the Park, William Aring and Frederik Gjeasing. Architect Historic Structures. Prior to field surveys,studies were made of known existing maps of St. John from P.L. Oxholm survey of 1780, thru the Coast and Geodetic Survey of 1929, and other information available in reports and documentary sources. All areas of the Park accessible to Park Service personnel were visited and such areas indicated on maps or referred to in other sources as building sites at one time or the other were scrutinized. i 11 I ev. 10-74) UNITED STATtS DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE FOR NPS USE ONLY, RECEIVED NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM DATE ENTERED CONTI NUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER PAGE r ’ I' Sketch maps were made of all located sites not included in previously pre­ pared surveys and remains of every identified structure recorded as to size, nature, material and condition and photographed.

They include plantation buildings of high architectxiral quality and impressive size as well as mo­ dest ones without pretentions of any kind, large and sophisticated residences and cabins that provided the bare minimxim of comfort. They reflect the va­ riety and inequalities of the society that was the economic mainstay of an affluent and accomplished West India sugar colony. Following the discovery of the Virgin Islands by Christopher ColTombus, St. John was claimed in turn by Spain, Holland, England and Denmark. It did not however, have a permanent European settlement until 1719 when it was colonized by the Danish Westindia & Guinea Co. that had taken possession of St. Thomas 3 miles to the west half a century earlier and in 1733 was to acquire St. Croix. The purpose of the settlement was to provide the Mother Country with tropicaJL agricultural produce and St. John was developed as an agricultural community of comparatively large landholdings that for cul­ tivation relied on slave labor and a sizable capital investment. The de­ velopment was slowed temporarily by the nearly successful slave uprising of 1733-3^ but in 1755 when all the Danish Westindies became a crown colony the development accelerated and by 1780 the greater part of the island was under cultivation. «i 4 \ ‘^1 f! >rm No. tp*300a lev. 10*74i UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NPS USE ONLY RECEIVED . ■ ' * DATE ENTERED CONTINUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER 8 PAGE 2 |i-V: During the early decades of the colonization crops included tobacco, dye i woods and other tropical produce hut the emphasis shifted to sugar and in the dryer, areas to cotton. In spite of the rugged terrain the relative fertility of the soil and easy availability of African slaves made the de­ velopment financially viable as long as prices for sugar remained high. With Denmarks abolition of trade in slaves in 1792 and the decline of sugar prices during the early decades of the 19th century, the plantation economy of St. John became marginal. By the mid-century the Westindian growers of sugar and cotton had to compete for the market with other areas where the cultivation of both sugar and cotton could employ mechanical means and with the increasing production of the European Sugar Beat. In l8U8 slavery was abolished in the Danish Westindies and the plantation system on St. John succumbed. Although a few plantations continued to raise sugar cane and cotton through the 19th century and bolstered their returned by introducing other crops such as bay and lime oil and livestock, they were not able to sustain a viable economy. From the l860's on tracts of cultivated land were abandoned or allowed to shrink to smaller plots of subsistence farming. The popiilation declined steadily and agricultural efforts gradually slackened. Farming continued into the 20th century but most of St. John and practically all of the area included in the Virgin Islands National Park reverted to a natxiral vegetation of bush and forest that buried the collapsing remains of a once flourishing agricultural community. In 1917 the Danish Westindies were ceded to the United States. 1/ Form No tp-300a (Aev 10-74) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THH INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM I; FOR NPS USE ONLY RECEIVED DATE ENTERED . i,-.. :-V'V ■■■' , ' " ■ ■ ■ ■ CONTINUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER 8 From the earliest days of St. John's settlement to the collapse of the sugar economy, leading figures in the government and the private sector of the Danish Westindies acquired properties on St. John. Governor Eric Bredal vho accomplished the acquisition of St. John in the face of English opposi­ tion owned the plantation now known as L'Esperance (H-5). Frederik Suhn who served as governor of St. Thomas-St. John in 172U-27 and later became the first governor of St. Croix and then the Governor General of all the Danish Westindies (l736-l|lt) owned 3 plantations on St. John, among them Annaberg (H-35)» which in the early 19th century was acquired by Governor Hans Henrik Berg who also owned Mary Point (H-30), Jossie Gut (H-lIt), and Leinster Bay. More distinguished figures outside the V.I. acquired planta­ tions on St. John, such as. Count Ernest Schimmelmann who for several de­ cades during the late l8th century served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdoms of Denmark-Horway and was responsible for Denmarks abolition of the slavetrade in 1792. The most dramatic single event in the history of St. John is the slave re­ volt of I733-3I1. This carefully planned and well executed action nearly drove out the European settlers of St. John. Fort Frederiksvaern on Fort- berg Hill, Cinnamon Bay Plantation, Caneel Bay (then called Durloo Bay) and Leinster Bay Point within the Park boundaries are all associated with de­ cisive phases of the revolt. Of these only Cinnamon Bay (H-25) is on Park ,1 i IM9V.

These examples make a comparative evaluation of V.I. architecture with that of other areas possi"ble, a comparison often favora"ble to the Virgin Islands in terms of architectural standards and time frame. Anna"berg School is also a mommient to the regulations instituted "by Governor General Peter von Scholten in 1839 for compulsory education of ALL children in the Virgin Islands, for its time a nearly revolutionary measxire. It was intended with other legislation for social reforms to give future generations of blacks an upward mo"bility and prepare them for the emancipation that the li"beral administration of Peter von Scholten (l836-li8) fenVlsioned and worked towards assiduously. These reforms were financed thru a head tax on slaves imposed upon their owners. BTiti No ip-300a (ew 10-74) .

Although the plailtation owners of St. John were not in the forefront of adopting new techniaues and mechanical inventions for the improvement of production, St. John at Reef Bay has the best preserved mid 19th century steam powered cane- crusher in the Virgin Islands and possibly in the Antilles. Parts of earlier larger and more impressive examples are found in other islands of both the Greater and Lesser Antilles but the Reef Bay Factory installation is the only one that has retained all its parts still in place and thereby is recog­ nized as a key reference for the explanation and better understanding of other incomplete installations elsewhere. Historic properties on St. John that have been out of use for many years have several feet of accumulated debris covering floor pavements, steps, boiling benches, drains and other features important to the understanding of the buildings functions, others have areas with great surface quantities of glass, pottery and porcelain fragments indicative of extensive periods of occupation. L'Esperance plantation is an example of the former and Rustenberg South of the latter.

The major ruins of Annaberg, Hammer Farm and Cinnamon Bay plantation and at Fort Lind Point have been cleared of vegetation and stabilized to provide a degree of protection against further deterioration. The work has been limited to masonry repair of standing walls. At Beef Bay Factory prever- vation efforts have also included a light-weight modern roof as essential to the protection of the machinery and other features of the interior and at Reef Bay Great House fish plates and tie rods have been installed in some of the walls to increase structural stability of the standing remains. Similar measures are currently being planned for Trunk Bay Factory and Mary Point Great House and preservation work is scheduled for America Hill, Lame- shure and Brown Bay Plantations sites. There has been no restoration of buildings within the Virgin Islands National Park and none are envisioned.

We found them vary useful in understanding the historical and physical context of the resources being nominated. The informatior. presented in the List of Classified Structure form is also well—presented and adequate for Regis.er nomination in this format. The Register has not received many draft or final multiple resource' nomination forms. Against the backdrop of thi ones we have received, this nomination is well-executed and appropriate for the resources being considered. The following specific questions or comments pertain to technical problems that require some chanije or clarification. And we have tried to make our review careful enough that your final nomination need not raise new questions. Hence, the coimients below reflect attention to details, rataer than any major problems with your format or approach. 1. Assuming it to be the case, please state that the multiple resource study area boundaries coincide with the boundaries of Virgin Island National Park. That would appear to be the most logical area for your nomination to encompass. If that is not the case, please explain your rationale for choosing an area smaller than the entire park. 2. Please provide a brief, but explicit boundary justification for each individual structure or district submitted. Obviously, boundaries should be based on the presence of historical resources or settings. 3. Please make certain that verbal boundary descriptions coincide exactly with boundaries depicted on matching property sketch maps. Note, for Instance, the verbal boundary description for the Reef Bay Sugar Factory Historic District is based on trails, roads, and natural features while the boundary line drawn on its sketch map is a perfect rectangle drawn without reference to natural features or roads. A. Please make certain that accurate acreage is given in the Inventory form for each structure or district. Again, acreage must match sketch map information and reflect the intent of the boundary justification. The Annaberg School form does not now give acreage. 5. Please make certain that all intrusions (newer roads, trails, buildings) are described in the inventory forms or are depicted and described in sketch maps. Please Include photos of major intrusions, showing their relationship to the historic resources. 6. On the large, current island map, please locate the nominated resource with accurate boundaries. The present map locates nominated resources only in a schematic way. lit-. ■' itiU. I i"'-'5#- 7. Please identify and describe at some greater length, historic resources in the park that are not being nominated. Please use this discussion to strengthen the statement made at the bottom of ^ 7 and top of page 8, Section 8, which speaks generally about the of excluded properties. characteristics Are there any National Register eligible resDurces within park Inholdings? If so, are they included in this nomination? 8. It is quite acceptable to make this a partial multiple resource nomination in which archeological resources are omitted until sufficient archeological investigation is completed. But we feel it is important to note that nominations for archeological resources can be based on general surveys and reconaissance, not just testing or salvage. 9. At the time of final submission, please enclose a complete list of properties within the multiple resource study area that have already been listed in the Register. ------ ------------------------------------------------- oiiLuLluii uf i'ggr.iuiii.iL till I Mhii4iiAfiiU«nS rti° vxucrrten ■tieLcauJ '"I Ci I i fom No. IO-3O6 (Rev. 10-74) j T'; iJNlTtDSTATtSDhPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR FEDERAL PROPERTIES FOR NPS USE ONLY RECEIVEQ JUN 8 DATE ENTERED «l|> 2 3 I9ffl SEE INSTRUCTIONS IN HOWTO COMPLETE NATIONAL REGISTER FORMS TYPE ALL ENTRIES - COMPLETE APPLICABLE SECTIONS________ INAME HISTORIC AND/OR COMMON Historic Resources of Virgin Islands National Park (partial Inventory,Historic & Archi- LOCATION -tecbure) STREETS NUMBER ,St. John Island _NOTFOR PUBLICATION CITY, TOWN CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT V .

St. John has a steep and rugged topography. The central east-west spine of the island rises to elevations of more than 1200 feet above sea level in less than a mile from the shoreline. This is deeply indented with sheltered bays backed by white sandy beaches between craggy cliffs and formidable rocky promotories. The hillsides are gouged out by deep V shaped valleys that terminate in small alluvial plains behind the more protected bays. The climate is oceanic and sub-tropical with an annual average temperature of 80° Fahrenheit and with a mean temperature fluctuation between season of 5° Fahrenheit. The park is covered by a hea-vy vegetation, except for a few small areas maintained open for visitors use or on inholdings for agricultural or gardening purposes. The vegetation varies from a high sub-tropical forest along the high ridges and in the drainage areas of the hillsides through an almost impenetratable dry forest and bush to a cactus scrub on the drier slopes of the east, south and southwest of the island. There are no permanent lakes or streams on St. John, although several of the inter­ mittent streams that drain the hillsides during hea-vy rains retain fresh water pools year round and behind the shoreline of most of the valleys there are brakish ponds with mangrove gro-wth.

In 1728, 91 plantation lots were listed for St. John. About half of these were claims that had either not been developed or surveyed. Seventy-two (72) years later the P.L. Oxholm map records 68 plantations outside the villages of Cruz and Coral Bay. Of these, Ul are within the established Park boundary. At present, there are 46 known historic properties within the Park bOLxndaries; 31 of these axe on Park property with a total of 236 classified structures. 17 classified structures are still roofed or have retained vestiges of roofing and 9 are maintained in use. All others are in various stages of ruins, from masonry walls standing to full height, to barely discernible traces of footings. All these are defined as structures by the National Park Service Management Policies. The most conspicuous in terms of volume and size are the remains of the Sugar Plantations. These are found in the areas of higher precipitation along the ridges -end- the north coast and in the valleys of the south coast where drainage from the hillsides provided favorable growing conditions for sugar cane. Less prominent are the more modest facilities required 'for cultivation of cotton and raising of livestock located in the drier areas to the east and south. The remains of public buildings, schools, customhouses and the single fortification on park property, an earthwork battery, are due to their modest sizes equally inconspicuous.

During the l8th and 19th century when St. John was intensely cultivated both the clustered buildings of the plantations and the individual structures were pro­ minent features in a landscape of open fields that in many instances stretched up over the surroiinding hillsides interspersed with patches of forest and bush on terrain Linsuitable for cultivation due to its steepness, poor water retention or soil. These ”farm centers” were scattered throughout what is now the park from 1/5 of a mile to 3/4 of a mile apart. (See attached copy of P.L.Oxholm Map). With the collapse of the plantation economy and the resulting slackening of agricultural activity and decrease in population the fields gradually during the late 19th and early 20th centuries reverted to a natural growth of bush and forest which by now has engulfed most of the buildings of former plantations. The Virgin Islands National Park has now a semblance of the wooded island des­ cribed by early European explorers of the West Indies. A few historic buildings and districts due to their prominent siting, size, location on a throughfare or continued use still have a high visibility such as Annaberg, America Hill, Reef Bay Great House, Hammer Farm, Trunk & Cinnamon Bay and Lameshur. Others, such as Reef Bay Factory and Lind Point Fort, that have been maintained cleared of the enefoaching growth are..surprisih:g encountets when reached in an area of developing forest.

Existing trails and roads in most cases follow original cartroads and eonseguently should be considered part of the resource. At three sites late occupation and construction have adversely affected the in­ tegrity of the resource and for that reason they have been excluded from this nomination (see item 8, pg 8)■ Modern road beds and at Cinnamon Bay cpnpground development, visually intrudes on the Trunk Bay Sugar Factory and Cinnamon Bay Plantation Site but do not directedly affect the integrity of the building remains proper. ARCHITECTURAL COMPQEEITOS The l8th and 19th century architecture represented in the multiple resource area of the Virgin Islands National Park is miral in character and generally utilitarean in purpose. Its ruinous and fragmented remains makes an evaluation of style and design quality difficult since much has deteriorated and in almost all cases masonry finishes and the woodwork which were important architectural features have been lost. General conclusions on architectural character, work­ manship and design quality must therefore, rely heavily on traces and comparison with the few relatively well preserved examples still extant. Form No. ip-300a (Aev. 10-74> UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NPS USE ONLY RECEIVED JUN 8 1981 DATE ENTERED Ji. 231981 CONTI NU ATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER It is apparent from traces in standing remains alone^that design and architectural consideration extended to factories, mills, service huildings^ahd other utilitarean structures as well as Great Houses and: residences. There is considerable variation in the extent and complexity of the different plantation sites as well as in the scale of their buildings. Buildings that can positively be identified with the l8th century are in general smaller than those of the 19th century. In early sugar factories the various functions of the sugar and rum production such as the boil^^g down of the cane juice, curing, distilling, etc., are often housed in seperate one story buildings while in late l8th century and 19th cen­ tury examples these different functions came under one roof and the factories expanded in size and in most cases became two stories and a few even three stories high with a comparable expansion in size of the ancillary buildings. The same generalization can be made for the Gxeat houses and the more important residences, although as a building type they remained static. Their main floor, on St. John most often of wood, stood on a raised platform or a full and exposed basement story and was reached by often elaborate and impressive exterior masonry staircases (Dennis Bay). Cabins and more modest dwellings on the other hand did not have a corresponding development and remained right into the 20th cen­ tury essentially a 2 room, one story building raised only slightly above the surrounding grade.

Not as common^but very characteristic of St. John architecture^is the use of blocks of cut and fitted brain coral for framing of openings and quoining of corners (Annaberg). There are a few instances of ashlar masonry of imported lime and sandstone (L'Esperance). Where ashlar and coral block masonry occur it was generally left exposed. Rubble and most brick masonry has traces of either a parged or plaster finish. Brick, clay tile and Gotland limestone flagging is used widely in masonry floors in both the l8th and 19th century buildings. The many fragments of clay wing tile, both glazed and unglazed, fOLind on several plantation sites, indicates that it was not unusual as a roofing material. Other roofing materials were shingles, flat brick roof (Reef Bay Factory) and from the mid 19th century on sheet metal. Daub and wattle was used extensively not only in cabins and other smaller buildings but also in larger structures of an early date. Within the park this construction has not survived except as imprints on the low masonry bases that supported them. Judging from old photographs palm thatch roofing was the rule on this type of buildings. ■Form No.‘lf)-300a (ftev. 10-74)- UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OE THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NPS USE ONLY JUN 8 T98t RECEIVED DATE ENTERED JUL 231981 CONTI NUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER PAGE Architectural ornamentation such as articulated and molded bases, projecting quoins, keystones, rosettes and handing of masonry occur frequently in principal buildings of the plantation of both the l8th & 19th centuries. The treatment of these features is generally restrained and more liniar than sculptural in quality. In the few relatively well-preserved examples the workmanship is excellent and the traces of ornamental stucco with inlays of intregally colored plaster still in evidence are executed with exceptional, skill and are of a sophisticated and pleasing design (Hammer Farm). In the early & mid-19th century remains neo­ classic detailing are common and well handled but with a West Indian flair of its own (Reef Bay & Mary Point Great House). This stylistic tradition lingered on in the interior woodwork of America Hill the Qreat House of Cinnamon Bay Plantation. This large and elaborate residence that in its present shape dates from about 1900» a- period of economical stag­ nation is historically an anachronism but is also the best example -vjlthin the park of the continuity and persistence of local building and design traditions. The fine woodwork which is only partially preserved evidences a high grade of craftsmanship and a skillfull detailing. The different buildings of a plantation are clustered within a fairly restricted area of reasonably level land. The location of this cluster within the land area of the plantation is dependent on road and boat access.

For cotton and livestock plantations there does not seem to be a fixed pattern to the placement of the different facilities. On sugar plantations, however, the horsemill and windmill; where the latter occurs, is placed on higher ground than the factory or raised by earthworks in flat terrain. The bagase sheds are placed in close proximity to both the mill and the factory and the still with its cistern is either built on the factory or placed close to it. The slave quarters, the so-called "village" was placed on the periphery of the production center but without any specific relation to the other buildings of the cluster. On flat ground the cabins were laid out in a grid and on steeper terrain in a pattern dictated by the contours of the land. Most plantation sites also included an orchard and a plot for raising vegetables. Landscaped yards around the Great Houses seems to have been the rule and they were defined by walls and/or terraces (Dennis Bay, Reef Bay, Lameshur, L'Esperance). Of the 31 historic structures and districts on park property one is a forti­ fication, l4 are plantations exclusively devoted to sugar production (lii8 known structures), U are plantations with both sugar and cotton production (43 known structures), 5 are plantations that exclusively raised cotton (29 known struc­ tures), 2 sire self-contained Greathouses (ll structures), 1 is a custom guard­ house, 1 is a subsisteince farm (3 known structures), 1 is sm abbatoir (3 known Form No. 1£)-300a (fiev 10-74) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OE THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NPSUSE ONLY RECEIVED JUN 8 1981 DATE ENTERED JU- 231981 CONTI NUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER PAGE structTires) and 2 are schools. ARCHEOLOGICAL COMPONENTS: Most of the Historic Districts within the Virgin Islands National Park can be assumed to be potential historic archeology properties. In the process of sta- bilizaing the ruins of Annaberg Sugar Factory and Reef Bay Factory in the late 50ties and early 60ties, a number of tools, implements and other artifacts were salvaged and recorded in the process of removing surface debris. Additionally, several sites have a quantity of surface fragment of pottery, glass and metal, etc,indication of prolonged occupation of the area. There has been no attempt towards a systematic archeological testing of the historic properties sub-surface, of salvage archeology or for specimen collection. Archeological investigation is proposed as part of the programmed stabilization of Trunk & Cinnamon Bay. SURVEY METHODOLOGY; During 1972-76 surveys were conducted of the Cultural Resources of the Virgin Islands National Park. They were directed towards collecting information for nominations to the National Register and for listing of Classified Structures within the Park's boundaries or properties in the ownership of the National Park Service. The surveys were conducted by Park Historian Don Adams, Volunteer in the Park, William Aring and Frederik GJessing, Architect Historic Structures.

Oxholm survey of 1T80, thru the Coast and Geodetic Survey of 1929, and other information available in reports and documentary sources. All areas of the Park accessible to Park Service personnel were visited and such areas indicated on maps or referred to in other sources as building sites were scrutinized.

They include plantation buildings of high architectural quality and impressive size as well as modest ones without preten­ tions of any kind, large and sophisticated residences and cabins that provided the bare minimum of comfort. They reflect the variety and inequalities of the society that was the economic mainstay of an affluent and accomplished West India sugar colony. Following the discovery of the Virgin Islands by Christopher Columbus, St. John was claimed in turn by Spain, Holland, England and Denmark. It did not however, have a permanent European settlement until 1719 when it was colonized by the Danish Westindia & Guinea Co. that had taken possession of St. Thomas 3 miles to the West half a century earlier and in 1733 was to acquire St. Croix. The purpose of the settlement was to provide the Mother Country with tropical agri­ cultural produce and St. John was developed as an agricultural community of com­ paratively large landholdings that for cultivation relied on slave labor and a sizable capital investment. The development was slowed temporarf.ly by the nearly successful slave uprising of 1733-3U but in 1755 when all the Danish Westindies became a crown colony the development accelerated and by I78O the greater part of the island was under cultivation.

In spite of the rugged terrain the relative fertility of the soil and easy availability of African slaves made the development financially viable as long as prices for sugar remained high. With Denmarks abolition of trade in slaves in 1792 and the decline of sugar prices during the early decades of the 19th century, the plantation economy of St. John became marginal. By the mid-century the Westindian growers of sugar and cotton had to compete for the market with other areas where the cultivation of both sugar and cotton could employ mechanical means and with the increasing production of the Eiiropean Sugar Be^t. In 1848 slavery was abolished in the Danish Westindies and the plantation system on St. John succumbed. Although a few plantations continued to raise sugar cane and cotton through the 19th century and bolstered their returns by introducing other crops such as bay and lime oil and livestock, they were not able to sustain a viable economy. From the l860's on tracts of cultivated land were abandoned or allowed to shrink to smaller plots of subsistence farming. The population de­ clined steadily and agriciiltural efforts gradually slackened. Farming continued into the 20th century but most of St. John and practically all of the area in­ cluded in the Virgin Islands National Park reverted to a natural vegetation of bush and forest that buried the collapsing remains of a once flourishing agri­ cultural community. In 1917 the Danish Westindies were ceded to the United States.

Governor Eric Bredal who accomplished the acquisition of St. John in the face of English opposition owned the plantation now known as L'Esperance (H-5). Frederik Suhm who served as governor of St. Thsamas-St. John in 172h-27 and later became the first governor of St. Croix and then the Governor General of all the Danish Westindies (1736-41+) owned 3 plantations on St. John, among them Annaherg (H-35)> which in the early 19th century was acquired hy Governor Hans Henrik Berg who also owned Mary Point (H-30), Jossie Gut (H-14), and Leinster Bay. More distinguished figures outside the V.I. acquired plantations on St. John, such as. Count Ernest Schimmelmann who for several decades during the late l8th century served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdoms of Denmark-Norway and was responsible for Denmarks abolition of the slave-trade in 1792. The most dramatic single event in the history of St. John is the slave revolt of 1733-34. This carefully planned and well executed action nearly drove out the European settlers of St. John. Fort Frederiksvaern on Fortberg Hill, Cinnamon Bay Plantation, Caneel Bay (then called Durloo Bay) and Leinster Bay Point within the Park boundaries are all associated with decisive phases of the revolt. Of these only Cinnamon Bay (H-25) is on Park property. Its owner, Daniel Jansen, Captain of the Civil Guard with his family and his loyal slaves, made a stand against the revolutionaries and delayed their advance sufficiently to allow fugi­ tives to reach safety at Caneel Bay (historically Durloo Bay & Klein Caneel Bay).

In its aftennath it also influenced the legi­ slation within and beyond the Virgin Islands. The agricultural practices of the l8th and 19th century cotton and sugar plantations axe evidenced by the plan organization of their buildings, the remains of terracing the stone wall field boundaries, the water collection systems and aquaducts, etc. The differences between an early sugax factory complex like Cinnamon Bay with its sej^rate buildings for each phase in the processing of the agricultural product compared to the more compact and streamlined facilities of the mid-19th century factory complex of Reef Bay illustrates a trend of the agricultural development. The traces of terraces at Rustenberg and elsewhere, the damSJfed up stream beds with collection cisterns and aqu&ducts at Jossie Gut and Annaberg among others illustrate local agricultural practices dictated by the terrain and climatic conditions of an area where surface water was not available and where the colleetlon and storage of water was critical to the entire agricultural, process. The great nmnber of buildings and structures included among the cultural resources of tbe Virgin Islands National Park provide valuable statistical information on l8th and 19th century construction methods, material use, plan types and building skills not only for St. John but also for the entire Virgin Islands. As stated- previously, many of the existing remains are modest both in scale and architectural quality but amongst the resources are examples of architectiure such as Reef Bay Great House, Mary Point Plantation, Annaberg School, Brown Bay Plantation, etc. FtJr’m No. 1f)*300a (Aev 10-74) UNlTtD STATES DTPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NPS USE ONLY RECEIVED JUN 8 1981 JUL 23 1981 DATE ENTERED - ' CONTI NUATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER 8 PAGE that even in their deteriorated or ruined condition, exhibit excellence of design and architectural styling of very high quality. America Hill the latest example of an ambitious arfehitectural expression within the Park retained these qualities and show that it was a building tradition carried into the 20th century. These examples make a comparative evaluation of V.I. architecture with that of other areas possible, a comparison often favorable to the Virgin Islands in terms of architectural standards and time frame. Annaberg School is also a monument to the regulations instituted by Governor General Peter von Scholten in. .1839 for compulsory education of ALL children in the Virgin Islands, for its time a nearly revolutionary measure. It was intended with other legislation for social reforms to give future generations of blacks an upward mobility and prepare them for the emancipation that the liberal admini­ stration of Peter von Scholten (1836-U8) envisioned and worked towards assiduously. These reforms were financed thru a head tax on slaves imposed upon their owners. Education was initially entrusted to the Moravian missionaries with the provision that all religious education shoiild be interdenominational. Although the plantation owners of St. John were not in the forefront of adopting new techniques and mechanical inventions for the improvement of production, St. John at Reef Bay has the best preserved mid 19th century steam powered cane-crusher in the Virgin Islands and possibly in the Antilles. Parts of earlier, larger and more impressive examples are found in other islands of both the Greater and Lesser Fo'fm No. 1f)^300a (frsv. 10-74>- UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NFS USE ONLY RECEIVED JUN 8 198V DATE ENTERED '**-23 1981 CONTI NU ATION SHEET ITEM NUMBER 8 PAGE 6 Antilles "but the Reef Bay Factory installation is the only one that has retained all its parts still in,place and thereby is recognized as a key reference for the explanation and better understanding of other incomplete installations elsewhere.

Some salvage^ archeology has been carried out in past years but the limits of the cemetery has never been established and it is assumed to extend beyond the area affected by the erosion. The major ruins of Annaberg, Hammer Farm and Cinnamon Bay Plantation and the fort at Lind Point have been cleared of vegetation and stabilized to provide a degree of protection against further deterioration. The work has been limited to masonry repair of standing walls.

None of them have known associations with events or persons formative to Virgin Islands history with the exception of Lameshur School and Mary Point Custom Guard House and the remains of these two buildings consists of hardly discernible footings that provide no clue to their original character. Three properties have lost their integrity thru modern intrusion. The buildings of Bordeaux Plantation East were partially leveled when the public road was shifted from its original alignment north of the factory to its present location over the factory building proper. The Mollendal and Johnpy Hem sites have been occupied until fairly recently and the remains of modern buildings that in their construction used materials from the earlier structures obscure the original ones. The seven (7) remaining sites are in an advanced condition of decay. Cabritte Horn, Paquerau and Bordeaux Plantation West are as Lameshur School, hardly dis­ cernible above ground and Sieben, Genti Bay, Par Force and Hope Plantations sites have through inroads of vegetation, decades of quarrying building materials and other vandalism lost their integrity.

ANNABERG HISTORIC DISTRICT 'W- 2 3 1981 DESCRIPTION Aiinaberg Historic District is located on the North Shore of St. John immediately east of Mary Point. The mill and factory are sited on a knoll on the shoreline T with an elevation of 102' above mean sea level. The site commands an expansive view of the British Virgin Islands and the extensive ruins are a conspicuous feature of the lanscape. The site is reached by the North Shore Road that con­ nects it to Frederiksdal and Mary Point to the west. Immediately below Annaberg the road has been washed out by sea action but formerly continued east on to Leinster Bay Estate. Retaining walls on the east and north side of the site re­ gulate the top levels of the knoll and provide the setting for the masonry cone of the former windmill, the horsemill and the bagasse shed. The factory ruins are 15' south of the horsemill on the downward sloping landside of the knoll. Frag­ ments of 16 slave cabins can be discerned on the west and north slopes of the knoll. In addition to these elements, Annaberg also has the ruined remains of an oxpoynd, stable, two bake ovens, a cook house, 3 elevated cisterns connected by aquaducts, two unidentified structures and a well and a drinking trough. Annaberg Plantation was one of several plantations on St. John owned in the 1720ties and 30ties by Frederik Moth, the first Danish Governor df St. Croix and later the Governor General of all the Danish West Indies. It was under cultivation by 1731 and in 1780 the factory site had 10 small buildings, two medium sized ones and two larger ones but apparently no horsemill. The estate was acquired by Robert Milner in 1786 and he may have built the Annaberg horsemill shown on the I8OO Oxholm map of St. John. The plantation became in the early decades of the 19th century one of the biggest sugar producers on St. John and its facilities expanded to their present impressive proportions. It was then owned by Government Adjudant Thomas Sheen. In 1827 the estate was acquired by Governor Hans Henrik Berg who held it until his death in 1862. Shortly thereafter cultivation of sugar cane was abandoned and the estate became a cattle farm. Although the remains of the existing factory cannot be dated precisely, its plan organization belong to the type that came into common use during the last decades of the 18th century. The building shows evidence of alterations and additions and the storage and curing wing of the factory exhibit building practices of con­ siderable variances with the boiling house. The same is the case with other major units of the factory site. The windmill postdates 1800 and from its type and construction probably dates from the second or third decade of the 19th century. In all probability the construction of the various buildings span the last decades of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. As stated above the ruins exhibit varying building practices but in addition have preserved architectural details and styling of considerable interest and of dif­ ferent periods. The extent of the ruins and the many functions they represent of a large sugar producing plantation well illustrate the different phases and the complexity of its operation. JUL 2 3 1981 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The significance of Annaberg Historic District is the relatively well preserved remains of a large and productive sugar plantation. They illustrate the com­ plexity of the sugar productions as well as its different phases from collections of surface water to curing and storage of the new sugar. They also, indirectly, through the extensive and impressive remains of the development of the factory site illustrate the profits that might be gained from this quasi-agricultural- manufacturing activity.

VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION From a point on the road to Annaberg 100 feet west of the Drinking Trough in the mangrove swamp below and west of Annaberg, the boundary line of the Historic District leads due north for twenty (20’) feet to the low water line of the shore and then easterly along the shore for about 1100 feet to the mouth of the inter­ mittent stream bed east of Annaberg and then southerly following the east tri­ butary of the streambed for 1050 feet and then due west for 600 feet to the stream bed of the west tributary and from there due northwest for 1100 feet to the starting point on the Mary Point-Annaberg road. The boTindaries of Annaberg Historic District are the natural barrier of the sea towards the north and a streambed to the east. Towards the south and west they are straight lines connecting fixed points so as to include all elements of the historic resource and its setting. - r •1 JUL 2 3 1981 j^ppendix B, Historic District * • CLASSIFIED STRUCTURE FIELD INVENTORY REPORT * (Attach 4"x5'^ B&W ^ NFS ORGANIZATION PARK/AREA NAME Virgin Islands Nat'1 Park' CODE NO., 53SO REGION Southeast t ■ STRUCTURE NAME Retaining Wall, Annaberg Mill &t Factory ORDER OF SIGNIFICANCE; ’National [[□ State H STRUCTURE NO. ) ' Local LOCATION OF STRUCTURE;Qj^ North Shore Road, East of Mary Point UTM REFERENCE: A L.

The estate was acquired by Robert Milner in 1786 who is known to have cultivated sugar cane and who mav have built the Annaberg hor.serm'n .<=!hnwn r>r» the_.1800„0xholm map of St. John. The plantation became during the early rie- cades of the 19th century one of the biggest sugar producers on St. John and its facilities expanded to their present impressive proportions. In 1827 the estate was acquired by Governor Hans Henrik Berg who held it until his death in 1 86?.. In all probability the construction of various buildings span the last decades of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century.

The plantation buildings with few exceptions are located inmediately behind the beach of the shallow Brown Bay. In addition to the masonry remains of a horsemill, a sugar factory and a large plantation house and an earlier Great House on the hill to the west of the bay, the site has the masonry footing of two wood frame buildings and four unidentified masonry struc­ tures, 2 small cabins, 3 wells and drinking troughs and 2 large cemeteries. The site was not brought under cultivation until the late l8th century and most of the buildings presiimedly date from the 19th century or are the much altered re­ mains of the original structures. The ambitious layout of the sugar factory and its supporting structures built between 1T80 and l800 and the marginal suitability of the area for cultivation of sugar cane led to financial failure and early abandoment of sugar production. In place of it, cotton and by the mid-l800's cattle became the main products of the plantation. Its development illustrates the vicissitude of the islands economy and agricultiire during the 19th century. The ambitious buildings are distinctive. They display classicalrevival details and are impressive by their size and architectural design and also shown signs of severed, alterations as they were adapted to changing usage. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE \ Drown Bay Plantation is significant for the architectural quality of its Plantation House and as an example of a plantation with diversified agricultural activities as evidenced in its building remains.

J VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION The boundaries of Brown Bay Historic District start at the cliffs on the water­ line on the north side of the bay and then follows the shoreline south and east to where it turns northerly then it follows a line due south to the intersection with the 80 foot contour and then follows the 80 foot contour in a westerly direction to its intersection with the gut draining the northside of Base Hill and then it continues in a north-westerly direction to an intersection with the foot trail Brown Bay-Leinster Bay and from there in a east-northeast direction to the starting point at the cliffs on the shoreline. The boundaries are defined to include the valley setting of the historical resoiirce and all of its elements. They are partially natural barriers and partially straight lines connecting fixed and identifiable natural and man made features. - r - ■ r r....................

The lands of the plantation included the relatively flat and eajsljy arable land of the peninsula as well as the steep hillsides to the south of it. The plantation was claimed and cleared by 1728 and appears to have been devoted very early to the cultivation of sugar Cane. The plantation buildings included a windmill tower and a horsemill sited on the high bluff on the west side of the peninsula, both post-dating l800, while the rest and older buildings of the plantation are clustered on the shoreline of Dennis Bay between 200 and 250 yards east-northeast of the windmill tower. From east to west they are the Plantation House, the Factory Building, the Still and a Storage Building, the ori­ ginal Horsemill, an Oxpound and Stable, a village with 5 standing masonry cabins, as well as a small masonry bridge, walls, gateposts, drinking troughs and 2 wells and the remains of a masonry aquaduct for conducting the canejuice from the- -windmill site to lower elevations of the factory. This latter feature and the masonry cabins of the village are unique for St. John plantations. The plantation house is the best preserved example of the traditional type with­ in the V.I. National Park. The buildings of Dennis Bay have exceptionally well executed masonry work and altho\igh quite simple in general design are of interest for their rarity and architectural, quality. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Dennis Bay is significant because of its many well preserved buildings from the l8th and early 19th centuries of a well developed sugar producing plantation and for their architectural interest.

The buildings of the plantation are clustered along the ridge of a hillside spur that extends southward from the main spine of the East End peninsula of St. John. The road that from Coral Bay settlement leads to the East End village passes below the plantation site and access to Her­ mitage is provided by the trail to Brown Bay and North Shore that branches off the East End Road just West of the plantation site. The plantation house remains with associated service buildings, warehouse and shop buildings are located on the higher elevation at the apex of the spur. The ruins of five barracks like structures with a cistern and other service structures are sited south and below the plantation house. Two wells and associated watering troughs in the valley below complete the list of Hermitage known structural remains. \ Hermitage Plantation post-dates 1780 but by 1800 was already a well developed site with several buildings. It was then exclusively devoted to the cultivation of cotton. At an unknown date during the mid-19th century it became a cattle farm and continued as such into the early decades of the 20th century. The re­ mains of most of the existing 15 structures appear to date from the 19th century, the plantation house, warehouse and shop however, contain elements of the pre- 1800 buildings and were part of the early cotton production. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The Hermitage Plantation is significant as an example of the plantations exclu­ sively devoted to the cultivation of cotton and raising of cattle.

The standing remains are the masonry walls of pi g-rnn-nd f1nr>v that once carried a second story in wood. The central core of the builrUnp; is 30' square.

A paved walkway on the north side of the buildings core leads from the staircase to a second 7'wide walkway on the east side of the building that separates the core from the cook house, a 16'xl3' one story extension towards the northeast. A 14'xl7' freestanding cistern is north and east of the cook house and divided trom it by a 4' wide staircase leading down to the lower terrain east of the plantation house. A 1905 photographic view of__ i-Jermitage shows the plantation house with its second story. It was then roofed by three parallel hipped roof sections over the porch and two over the main core. It also appears that the roof then extended over walkway on the northeast side of the building making the cook house Vyhich had a flat shed roof and the cistern an inte- >*araT part of the plantation house.

It is on the old cart road of Reef Bay Valley where the main gut is joined by the two guts that drain the west side of the Bordeaux Moun­ tain ridge. The district contains a factory, a large horsemill, an expound, a stable and a storage building and the fragmentary remains of a dam across the tributary gut with sluices and a cistern for collection and distributing surface runoff. The horsemill is in a fair state pf preservation and some of the factory walls still stand to plate height although in a poor condition. All other buildings and structures have been partially destroyed by erosion and deterioration. Jossie Gut Factory like Reef Bay Factory is a 19th century structure and the plantation appears to have had reasonable amotint of sugar production during the first half of the 19th century. It was owned and operated by Governor Hans Henrik Berg from the 1820ties until his death in 1862. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Jossie Gut Sugar Factory is significant for its remains of a surface water collecting and distributing system and for its associations with Hans Henrik Berg, Governor of the Danish West Indies. Latitude 18° 20' 31" Longitude 64° 44' 27" Acreage: 5 acres There are no UTM references on any published maps of the U.S. Virgin Islands. VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION Starting at the crossing of the cart road from the east to the west side of the gut 600 feet north of the factory, the boundary follows a line in a south-westerly direction for 358 feet and then turns a 90 angle in a south-easterly direction for 650 feet, until it intersects the cart road 150 feet south-east of the factory and then continues in a north-northeasterly direction for about 600 feet to the bed of the stream that drains the west flank of the Bordeaux Mountain Ridge and then'in a west by northwesterly direction for 350 feet to the starting point of the cart roads crossing of the gut. The boundaries include all parts of the historical resource that is set in protected surroxxndings.

It was a choice site for agricultural purposes for its soil conditions, permanent spring and relatively high precipitation. As a plantation site, it is a small compact unit with fairly large buildings, that include two horsemills, a factory, a free standing cistern, a storage building, a great house, a cook house, a ser­ vice building, a cemetery, a stone bridge as well as retaining walls, stair­ cases and stone fencing. It was developed early in the 18th century and has retained features of design and construction in its standing remains of interest for their age and for their variance from the generally accepted layout of plantation sites. The tight grouping of the different units that comprise L'Esperance centered a- round the Great House is exceptional and predates the pattern that characterizes the normal layout. Architecturally it is notable for, the high quality of work­ manship observable in the Great House and Service buildings masonry as well as the use of volcanic sandstone as a building material. This exotic material to the Virgin Islands was probably imported from the Leeward Islands. The masonry remains of the Great House, the south Horsemill and the Service Buil­ ding are in a fair state of preservation. All other structures are badly de­ teriorated. L'Esperance produced sugar in the early 1830's but in the 1840ties discontinued cultivation of cane. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: L'Esperance Historic District is significant for its unusual layout as a sugar plantation and for its association with Governor Eric Bredal, who in the 1720ties owned the plantation and who in 1719 affected the Danish colonization of St. John in the face of British oposition. Acreage 6% acres Latitude 18° 20' 32" Longitude 649 45'32" .■'X There is no UTM references on any published maps of the U.S. Virgin Islands. VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION L'Esperance Historic District is bounded to the West by the trail that from Centerline Road leads to Sieben plantation starting at a point on the trail 250 feet northwest of the storm bridge across Fish Bay Gut and ending 450 feet due . JUL 2 3 1981 south o£ the same bridge, then in an easterly direction for 300 feet across the gut to the bed of the intermittent stream on the east side of the site then following the stream bed in an north and easterly direction for about 700 feet to a point about 225 feet northeast of the expound and then westerly to the starting point on the Centerline-Sieben trail. The boundaries include all parts of the historic resource and enclose a natural topographical area between the two streambeds to the west and east of the district.

The 450 feet of shingle beach is backed by a triangle of less than 4 acres of level land flanked by the steep slopes of spurs extending northward from the spine of the east end ridge of St. John. The ruins of what appears to be a rendering plant or an abattoir is located 30 feet behind the shoreline and to the east and southeast of the ruins are two wells with watering troughs. Liever Marches Bay is named on the Oxholm survey of 1780 and on the Oxholm map of St. John of 1800 but not on any later map of St. John nor does any survey or map of St. John indicate the presence of the structures, agricultural activity or other development of the valley behind Liever Marches Bay. It is assumed that the abattoir or rendering plant was erected sometime during the mid-19th century when raising of livestock in many parts of St. John had replaced more in­ tensified agricultural pursuits and completely nn both the large adjoining es­ tates of Hermitage and Brown Bay. The masonry walls of the abattoir are in fair condition and still stand to plAte height except for a section of the northeast comer. The site is of considerable local interest as the plant is. the only one of its kind known to have been preserved. X STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The abattoir of Liever Marches Bay is the only one of its kind on St. John and is significant as the illustration of the changing in agricultural practices from the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton to raising of cattle. Acreage: 4 acres Latitiide 18° 21' 15" Longitude 64° 42' 06" There are no UTM references on any published maps of the U.S. Virgin Islands. VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION The Historic District of Liever Marches Bay is bounded to the north by the low water line of the bay starting and ending at the cliffs that flank the pebble beach and towards the west, south and east the 40 foot contour line. The boundaries are defined to include all the level land behind the bay and all parts of the historic resource. r * ..

APPENDIX B MORE HILL HISTORIC DISTRICT 23 (981 DESCRIPTION More Hill Plantation development is located on the ridge of the East End penin­ sula of St. John 500 yards east of the peak of More Hill. The site has the ruins of three buildings of modest proportions at an elevation of 360 feet above sea level. There is no trail to the site. More Hill Plantation was cleared and brought under cultivation at an unknown date between 1780 and 1800. It is shown on the Oxholm Map of 1800 as number 2 of the East End Quarter Plantations and with two symbols for buildings but is not named. The plantation cultivated cotton and never had any other use and was abandoned early in the 19th century. The districts interest lies in the "time capsuled" nature of its remains which illustrate primitive late 18th century construction techniques and the modest facilities required by a small cotton plantation. The site also has a large midden downhill and south of the warehouse. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE More Hill Historic District is significant for its remains of a modest cotton plantation of the late 18th century unaltered and disturbed by later development and different uses. Latitude 18° 21' 39" Longitude 64° 41' 39" Acreage: 6 acres There are no UTM references on any published maps of the U.S. Virgin Islands. VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION More Hill Historic District is located in an area of dense bush without any distinct natural or man made features and is surrounded by protected park lands. For this reason the District has arbitrarily been defined as the area bounded by latitudes 18° 21'41" and 18° 21'37" and by longitudes 64° 41'42" and 64° 41'36".

The district contains the Great House, a servants house, a stable, a privy and a well. The elevation is about 250 feet above sea level and it is reached by a trail that branches off the Reef Bay-Lameshur Trail. The Great House is still partially roofed but several bearing masonry walls show signs of failure and on the interior all woodwork is badly deteriorated as are exterior and interior masonry finishes. The masonry walls of the servants quar­ ters and the stable still stand to plate height in a deteriorated condition. The cookhouse, the privy and the walls of the semi-circular terrace on the north side of the Great House have collapsed as has the once roofed terrace to the south of the Great House. Reef Bay Great House is the most important architectural monument within the Virgin Islands National Park and a significant example of West Indian architec- * ture. Considered in connection with the remains of Reef Bay Sugar Factory and its historical association with the various ruins within the confines of Reef Bay Valley, it ranks as the most complete exhibit of the plantation economy of the West Indies within the Virgin Islands. Its spectacular and well-planned setting makes it a noteworthy example of historic landscaping, both for the qua­ lity of the design and its rarity. Reef Bay Great House was originally the Great House of Par Force. The existing building dates from the early 19th cen­ tury but it contains within its shell the masonry base of an earlier wood building. In its present form the Great House is an excellent example of a severely formal classical revival design with well conceived and sophisticated detailing that is carried through on the service buildings and in the retaining walls and fences. The incongruity between the formality and controlled symmetry of the architecture and the irregular topography of the setting has by the builder or the designer been turned to an advantage. Retaining walls, fences and steps direct the ap­ proaches and provide changing views of both the buildings and of the surroundings that soften and enrich the severity of the architecture. The original planting of the terraced landscaping has, been choked out by bush and can only be guessed at, but sufficient remains of the terraces to provide an idea of the formalized landscape intended. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Reef Bay Great House complex is significant as a distinguished architectural ex­ pression in a neo-classical manner, that within a time frame of contemporary buildings, is of a highly sophisticated design as well as a true adaptation to the West Indies and to its setting. \ JUL 2 3 1981 Latitude 18° 19» 54»» Longitude 64° 44' 25" Acreage: 5 acres There are no UTM references on any published maps of the U.S. Virgin Islands VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION Except for a small flat approximately 150 feet by a 100 fe6t northwest of the Reef Bay Great House, the terrain around the complex is very steep and without any distinctive natural or man-made features. As it is located in a protected area the boundaries of the Historic District have been arbitrarily set as the area bounded towards the west and east as longitude 64° 44' 23" and 64° 44' 27" and towards the north and south as latitude 18° 19' 56" and 18° 19' 52".

In addition to the factory, the district has a horsemill, the remains of 3 small dwellings, a free standing bake oven, an expound, a cemetery with one marked grave and a well and drinking trough. Reef Bay Estate, of which the factory is part, came under cultivation early in the l8th century as a cattle and cotton plantation. About l800 it was joined with Par Force Estate to the north and the combined esta‘ es of more than 1+00 acres were devoted to the cul­ tivation of sxigar cane. Reef Bay Factory is the best preserved of its kind in the Virgin Islands and has retained its coppers, flues, crystalization platform, tool racks and other features of the sugar manufacturing process as well as a coirplete mid-19th .. century steam powered cane crushing system housed in a i860 addition to the ' factory. This addition as well as the secondary buildings of the complex are constructed strictly for their utilitarian purposes and little effort has been given towards creating an architectural in^jression. The older section of the factory, on the ' other hand, exhibits considerable evidence of preoccupation with architectural decoration. It stands on an articulated base with stucco band work at comers and around windows and door openings. A double band takes the place of a cornice and tlje space between them is divided in panels corresponding to the fenestration of the wall below. Acroterions define the corners of the main elements of the structure. The ornamental plaster work is carried through on the interior, and there are indications of a color treatment of band work as well as grooved and painted Joints of the plaster and stucco emphasizing the architectural effect. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Reef Bay Factory Historic District is significant for its well preserved "works" which clearly illustrate late l8th and early 19th century sugar production prac­ tices and for the architectural quality of its factory building.

VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION; The historic limits of the factory compoiuid are bordered to the north and west by the trail from centerline road and the Reef Bay shoreline and to the south and east by the mangrove swamp that separates the factory site from the higher land towards the northeast. The boiindarles include the presence of all parts of the historical resource as defined by the natural barriers of the swamp and the sea and the historical access trail. ppejid^ r* 1 ' ,!i.ON Sbutheast JUL 23 1981 , A^pepd^ B, Histo^c^|st^ .trUCTURK FIELB IMi:..T> uRY '■ (ActacirA'^xS*' U&W yiioCo) ORGANIZATION PARK/AREA NAME Virgin Islands Nat'l Park CODE NO, 5360 V STRUCTURE NAME Horsemill, Reef Bay Estate ■STRUCTURE NO.

It is one of the most extensive factory sites on St. John and includes a horsemill, a sugar factory, a bagasse shed, a storage building, a still, a combined warehouse and residence, two oxpounds with stables, two unidentified structures and several remains of slave quarters in addition to gateposts, water troughs and walls. y K ■ X, It was - developed early in the 18th century as a sugar plantation and the remains of its buildings and structures for the greater part pre-date 1780. In 1852 only 40 acres were still in sugar cane 8% of the estate). The agricultural •• activities of the plantation ceased during the following decades and the site was abandoned. Its many years of existence in a relatively undisturbed condition the obvious traces of past occupation including quantities of surface shards makes ..••'"the site an important historic archeological area.

Sketch maps of the two districts, a copy of the Oxholm Map (1800) and a map of St. John showing the park boundary are also enclosed. The location of the properties will in the final draft be placed on USGS maps rather than the enclosed sketch map. Photographs were not included in the submission. We would appreciate it if you could seek the review of this sample format by the staff of the National Register. Their comments and suggestions will be helpful in preparing the final nomination and hopefully will result in rapid completion of the nomination process. If possible we would look for return of the material to this office by June 5.

Georgia 30303 MAY UlSSii Memorandum To: Associate Director, Management and Operations, WASO Attention: Assistant Director, Cultural Resources From: Subject: Acting Regional Director, Southeast Region Multiple Resource Nomination for Virgin Islands National Park Enclosed is a multiple resource nomination for Virgin Islands National Park. This was prepared during 1978-1979 by Fred Gjessing, then on the staff of the park. A sample format was reviewed and approved during the early part of that period by the National Register, the Washington Office and the Region. The completed form was sent to the Virgin Islands State Historic Preservation Officer in mid-1980, but was lost by them. In early 1981 it was found and upon our request was returned to us after being signed. We are submitting it to you for review and forwarding to the National Register for entry. It is, we believe, an excellent piece of work showing considerable research.
