Ft. Christian Review

St. Thomas's oldest standing structure, this monument was built between 1672 and 1680 and now has U.S. National Landmark status. This remarkable building has, over time, been used as a jail, governor's residence, town hall, courthouse, and church. A multimillion-dollar renovation project was started in 2005 to stabilize the structure and halt centuries of deterioration. Delays have plagued the project, including the discovery of human skeletal remains buried in the walls from when the structure was used as a Lutheran church. You can see from the outside the four renovated faces of famous 19th-century clock tower.
