Observations on the Architecture at Reef Bay Estate and Fortberg Hill: St. John, Virgin Islands
Gjessing-Arch F. 1954. Observations on the Architecture at Reef Bay Estate and Fortberg Hill: St. John, Virgin Islands
Both Reef Bay Estate and Fortberg Hill have extraordinary scenic values and great architectural qualities. Reef Bay Estate retains more buildings than generally found in the old estates. The main building is of special merit. The factory with its machinery and the other utility buildings clearly demonstrate the functioning of a sugar producing estate. The fort at Fortberg Hill is a typical 18th century fortification and played an important part in the history of the island.
