Another view of the restorations taking place on building on the corner of King and King Cross Streets.
Walking close to this building on King and King Cross Streets, I noticed many pencil sketches on the columns on King Cross Street. I took a closer look. The drawings below are what I discovered. Only one drawing had what I could perceive as a name. Were these drawings by one individual or more than one?
Is Zamba Lamr a name? Whose?
A closer view
Was once a business. Close to the Apothecary Hall.
Apothecary Hall. I was asked what I was doing. Taking photos to show the evolution of the building.
Apothecary Hall sign partly visible. Since 1839
Another view. This drugstore was the heart of Frederiksted.
I told the individual that it was a shame to see the building slowly disappear.
His answer? It is going to be reconstructed. Pink building is/was the Benjamin family's residence for many years.
It appears the debris on the 2nd floor has been removed.
Two or three colors of Bougainvillea.
The small structure that was once here, next to what was known as Holy Land store, has been demolished.
