Chris'tiatrsted" lies in^ r.eef-sheltered harbor on_JJne north- sid^e of S"tV_ Crpix, ,eas£ ,qf the Columbus landing, site.. The town! is situated ori a low flat.plain near J:hje w^ter,f which forms .the north and east edges, arid rises' in three separate, ridges to the mountains •^ forming the southern and south-western boundaries .of the original settlement. Tt'he rigid application of the grid street plan over the un- dulating terrain, with the resulting NE-SW major axis of the grid, , indicates that the plan of the town was predetermined and made to fit the selected site. The varying length of the blocks along the major axis was dictated by the three north-south ridges, but the depth of the blocks are constant, except for those which front on the harbor. Company Street was intended as the .major street in the plan, on axis with the entrance to the fort and terminating at the large burial ground at the western border of the town. Two market spaces are located on or off this street: Market Square, a one block long, one lot deep open space between Company and King Streets in the western end of the town, and the Sunday Market, originally occupying both sides of Company Street (now limited to the south-side) in the middle of the block bounded by King's Cross and Queen's Cross Streets. The first street of the town, Strandgade was laid out by Moth in May 1735 along the edge of the harbor, followed during the next decade by a number of parallel streets with slightly more narrow streets intersecting them. The early part of the grid plan focused on the re cently rebuilt Fort Christian and the new buildings of the Danish West India and Guinea Company being erected in the north-easterly quadrant of the town. The settlement continued to grow outward from this area, with construction regulated by the building code of 1747 which speci fied among other things that: 1. New buildings were to be built in a straight line along the building line. 2. New buildings were to be constructed of masonry or wood with shingled roofs (later to be changed to tile). 3. If wood construction (except on Strandgade), to be built on masonry footings or foundations, and also 01 SIGNIFICANCE PERIOD —PREHISTORIC —1400-1499 —1500-1599 —1600-1699 .X1 700-1 799 X-1800-1899 —1900- AREAS OF SIGNIFICANCE -- CHECK AND JUSTIFY BELOW _ARCHEOLOGY-PREHISTORIC _ARCHEOLOGY-HISTORIC _AGRICULTURE ^^ARCHITECTURE —ART ^COMMERCE _COMMUNICATIONS X-COMMUNITY PLANNING —CONSERVATION _ECONOMICS —EDUCATION —ENGINEERING ^EXPLORATION/SETTLEMENT —INDUSTRY —INVENTION —LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE —LAW —LITERATURE X_MILITARY —MUSIC —PHILOSOPHY X_POLITIC'S/GOVERNMENT X_RELIGION —SCIENCE —SCULPTURE —SOCIAL/HUMANITARIAN —THEATER _TRANSPORTATION —OTHER (SPECIFY) SPECIFIC DATES BUILDER/ARCHITECT STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Christiansted Is of special significance for its weir preserved architectural examples including Danish 'Neo Classic,," Renai-ssance : re vival and Danish West : Indian vernacular,.structures. Port Christian dominating the the harbour,, pres'ents a typical 18th century forti fication. The town has not experienced great physical damage from fire or hurricahe. Modification have been made to' several buildings and a few intrusions exist,, however., the town retains 'the scale and feeling of a 19th century West Indian port and market. Founded, on the site of an older French settlement of Bassin,, the town was laid out in 173^- by Frederik Moth., later the first Danish governor^of St. Croix. Moth platted streets^ subdivided the town into building sites., built an earth fort for protection and pro mulgated a series of exemplar building restrictions and codes whose effects are seen today in the town's attractiveness and visual order. Prior to French occupation^ Bassin was probably the site of an Dutch settlement that was contested by both the English and Spanish. "She contest was settled in 1650 by a French military occupation followed by sale of St. Croix to the Knights of Malta'. Bassin ' did not flourish and at best was a collection of crude, huts when Moth and the Danes arrived. Christiansted grew rapidly in the last quarter of the 19th century . reflecting the general prosperity of the sugar industry and the towns displacement of Charlotte Amalie as the seat of government in 1755«-..The port flourished^ shipping the many hogsgead of sugar required to generate specie,, much needed to pay plantation debts and to purchase imported, luxuries. By 1800 merchantile importance was at a peak with a population of 5 .,284 somewhat increased by wealthy planters who found it fash ionable to own a townhouse in addition to a great house on their sugar plantation estate. The town became a flourishing center for plantation society. A general decline in the sugar industry began after 1820 causing the town to remain static. By 1829 there were only 12 more buildings QMAJOR BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REFERENCES Dookhan, Isaac. A History of the Virgin Islands of the United States.

Prohibited -thatched roofs in town, except for the "poorer class" who were restricted to the waterfront and the western section of town. •/ Two other factors that contributed to the original character of the town that^Obtains)today were the long tradition that property owners built ouC^over the public sidewalks, creating the impressive series of arcades and galleries, and a 1749 act which established a public cemetery at the western end of town, with all other burials prohibited except at the small cemeteries of the three approved churches. By 1800, most of the part of town north of DronninggagAde (Queen Street) was developed as the commercial and more preten^iojjjiif residential quarter of the town, with parts of the hills at the end of Ostergade (East Street) and Bjergegade (Hill Street) reserved for other pre stigious residences. The remainder of the town, an 'L 1 shaped area below the mountains to the south and in the western half of the settle ment, was developed as a residential section for the free-colored of which there were over 1,000 living in town by 1800. The land around the Market Place was developed as a commercial area to serve these families. This socioeconomic development pattern is reflected in the visual and architectaral character and quality of these two distinct districts. The commercial and governmental core area of the Christiansted Historic District is a six block section bounded by properties along the north side of Strand Street, Church Street, properties fronting the south side of Company Street, and by an arbitary line drawn approximately in mid-block between Princess and King's Cross Streets. Kongensgade (King Street) is the most important street with many of the towns most significant structures located on or just off it, foll owed by Company Street, with the Sunday Market and rows of many fine residences. Almost all the original public buildings and many of the towns finest larger residences are located on these two streets, with the most important concentration occurring in the Government House area at the intersection of King and Queen's Cross Streets. Strangely, except for the area near the fort and vistas provided down King's Cross and Queen's Cross Streets, the harbor is hardly noticable and has very little relationship to the core area. Building heights in the core area are two and three stories with most one story heights limited to accessory structures. As required in the 1747 building code, buildings front on the sidewalk line and Form No. 10-300* lR«v 10-74) UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES INVENTORY - NOMINATION FORM FOR NPS USEcwlef CONTI NUATION SHEET_________________ITEM NUMBER 7 PAGE_____TWO_______________ form almost solid rows for the entire length of the block, accented by the exceptional arcaded walkways with galleries projecting to the street line. Most of the ground floor of the structures are in co mmercial or office use with many of the upper floors used for residences. The predominant method of construction is masonry (brick and rubble, usually stuccoed) with a good number of the buildings having frame upper stories, entrance to which is either by internal stairway or through a rear courtyard. The presence of these court yards reduces the overall density of the c are area to an acceptable level. Virtually all of the buildings, except recent construction and the gable roofed churches, have the traditional West Indian high hipped roof. Building conditions are excellent. Density of the residential areas to the south and west of the core area is considerably lower, except for the built-up sections along King and Company Streets. Although the buildings are situated along the sidewalk lines, many of which have suspended galleries, they are smaller structures with much larger side yards thereby creating a low density, with the exception of the King-Company Street tier, virtually all of the structures are one story in height, most are frame covered with shingles (earlier) or clapboards or novelty siding (later). Except for the areas around the Market Space, land use is predominantly residential with scattered convenience commercial uses and churches serving the residential community. Building conditions vary from good to poor, especially in the Water- Gut area. The residential area is one of small, detached hip roofed cottages in rows along narrow streets climbing the three hills in the southern section and spread out along the flat open land near the Water-Gut area, west of the core area along the harbor. The Christiansted Historic District is set off from the surround ing area by the harbor along the south and east boundaries, by the largely undevelopable hills and mountain to the south, and by the change in land uses and visual character of the western ridge, which is composed of three cemeteries, newer residential construction and a large scale public housing project. The boundaries indicated on the accompanying map are those of the 1779 Oxholm map. Pivotal buildings in the Christiansted Historic District, keyed to the map, include: 1. Fort Christian - a square citadel with bastions and gundecks at the salient angles, typical L 18th c. plan of island fort.

The main entrance is protected by a ravelin, whose entrance gates are^ flanked by quoined masonry posts-all other openings are und«corated except the exterior facade of the sally port, wh'ich is pedimented and flanked by engaged fluted pilasters. There is a horse yard and stables to the south east. The fort was constructed over the ruins of an earlier French fortification, completed in 1749. Part of the Christiansted National Historic Site. 2. Customs House and Post Office - two story seven bay wide, heavy masonry structure incorporating parts of a 1751-52 building in its first story, the remainder of which was built in 1805.

The arcaded lower floor has segmented arched open ings with stuccoed keystones and decorative banding on the pilasters. There is a double belt course at the second level and a molded cornice below a stepped parapet wall which surrounds a later, low pitched hip roof. This building, part of the Christiansted National Historic Site, served as the Danish custom house from the 1760's to 1878. 3. Steeple Building - built 1750-53 by the Danish West India and Guinea Company as a Lutheran Church, Our Lord of Zebaoth. The original structure was a simple one story rectangular masonry block with a low hipped roof. The existing Georgian steeple, from which the building derives its name, was added 1793-96. The church was vacated by the Lutheran congregation in 1831, at which time it reverted back to the Danish govern ment. The building was greatly altered in 1841-42 when the roof was removed, two walls extended and the other two lowered. The church was restored to its c 1800 appearance by the National Part Service in 1961-65 and is part of the Christiansted National Historic Site. 4. Government House - the large three story masonry structure occupies one-quarter of a full town block and served as the residence of the Governor and offices of the colonial govern ment during most of the Danish era. The three story, high ly decorated Baroque center section was constructed as a private residence in 1747.
