EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of Old Fort Christian Police Station, located in the heart of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands of the West Indies. Circa 1920, this image transports us to the bustling streets of this Caribbean island during the 1920s. The Old Fort Christian Police Station, a historic landmark, stands proudly amidst lush greenery, with its crenellated tower and clock facing the bustling street. The towering trees and lush grass surrounding the station add to the serene beauty of the scene. Old Fort Christian, originally built in 1672 as a Danish fort, served as the seat of government for the Danish West Indies until 1917. The fort was later converted into a police station, reflecting the island's transition into a new era. The intricate details of the fort's architecture, including the arched windows and red-tiled roof, are evident in this photograph. The Old Fort Christian Police Station is a testament to the rich history of St. Thomas and the US Virgin Islands. This image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of Caribbean and American influences that define this vibrant and diverse region. The clock tower, a symbol of the passage of time, adds a sense of timelessness to the scene, making it a must-see destination for history buffs and travelers alike.
