Can you make it out? It reads: "Erected as a 2-story town house in 1803 by the DaCosta family, this sturdy building has been greatly modified over the years. Major alterations occurred in the 1930s, when the residence was converted into Frederiksted's main hospital." Placed by St. Croix Historic Preservation Commission 2004 (Photos from this point on taken with Lumix camera, 03/01/2023.)

Christiansted, Strand Street Parking lot. It reads: "Baobab Tree. Located in the government parking lot, this Baobab tree is one of many such African spirit trees found on St. Croix. It was planted in the courtyard of a large 18th century town house, whose ruins can be seen along the road on the southern end of the parking lot." Placed by St. Croix Historic Preservation Committee 2007. The other green and white sign no longer exists. I looked, couldn't find it. Why didn't I see this plaque before?
