Typical Architecture in Christiansted, St.Croix

St.Croix has suffered extensive damage in the past 18 years from three hurricanes (including Hurricane Hugo in 1989). There are many severely damaged structures throughout the island (such as this one above).

Almost all the buildings were painted in pastel colors such as these three. The downtown area could easily be described as "quaint" or "charming".
