Шаблон:Infobox NRHP Estate Butler's Bay, on the island of Saint Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands, was established as a sugar plantation by 1764. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The listing included five contributing buildings, a contributing structure, and five contributing sites.[1]

Background

It is located on the west coast of the island, about Шаблон:Convert north of Frederiksted. It has also been known as Bottler's Bay.[2]

Surviving are "two great houses, three slave quarter buildings, a cookhouse, a sugar factory, stables, an overseer's house and a number of accessory structures." A wind-powered mill to crush sugar cane has been modified and incorporated into a modern house, and is not part of the listing. More than 80 slaves worked on the plantation.[2]

The earliest of the two great houses is a two-story building, Шаблон:Convert in plan, with six bays by seven bays. It has a corrugated tin hipped roof which replaced the similar roof lost in an 1828 hurricane.[2]
