The white, neoclassical structure that houses offices for the governor of the Virgin Islands was built in 1867. Outside it, the bright red Danish-style guardhouse is a perfect place for a photo. The view of the harbor from the First Lady's garden directly across the street is also photo-worthy. The inside of the building is currently closed to visitors.
Its light-yellow, colonial-style exterior is the face of the vociferous political wrangling of the Virgin Islands Senate. Constructed originally by the Danish as a police barracks, the building was later used to billet U.S. Marines, and much later it housed a public school.
While you buy stamps, contemplate the murals of waterfront scenes by Saturday Evening Post artist Stephen Dohanos. His art was commissioned as part of the Works Project Administration in the 1930s.
