Description

Built from yellow-masonry construction, this two-story hipped-roof house was built in 1856. It is the site of a former Danish weighing station for sugar exports, as well as imports that arrived in St Croix. Today housing the offices of the National Parks Service, the scales and the weigh-master's office can be seen. The building is listed on the National Registry of Historic Landmarks.
