Description
The Kings Wharf government compound was the original ship landing for the Danish colony on St Thomas. Today, the U.S. Virgin Islands government and U.S. Coast Guard share the grounds. The pale-green, neoclassical Legislature Building, built by the Danish in 1874 was once a barracks for Danish and then U.S. military troops. Also the site where the U.S. Virgin Islands were officially ceded from the Danish to the US, island politicians have assembled in the building since the 1950s.
