Estate St. John, near Christiansted on Saint Croix in the United States Virgin Islands, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It has also been known as St. Jan Plantage. The listing included two contributing buildings and a contributing structure.[1]
It includes the former Great House, a cookhouse, and a bell tower. The Great House is a one-story building on a high foundation, with seven bays on the front and four on the sides.[2]
The cookhouse is a gable-roofed 40 by 17 feet (12.2 m × 5.2 m) three by two bay building with a "massive" chimney and an "exceptional" beehive oven. Coral block walls support its wood-framed roof.[2]
It is located 3 miles (4.8 km) west or northwest of Christiansted. The associated historic sugar factory complex, across a road and greatly altered, was deemed to no longer merit historic designation.[2]
