description

Summary

Significance: Although the original 18th-century design of the Custom House is discernible, both in the building's over-all form and in its details, the addition of a front gallery and a hipped roof above the parapet wall have obscured its authentic architectural character. Nevertheless, this structure is a fine example of the late 18th century Danish civic architecture of the Virgin Islands with typical construction details and architectural elements. The building appears to be in good condition, is structurally sound, and the finishes are good to fair.
Survey number: HABS VI-46

This is another AI-assisted collection, this time it features 20K+ images of manors. A manor is a large country house with lands, the principal house of a landed (country) estate. This collection took about 15 minutes to make, including adding about 18,000 relevant images as "manors" and removing portraits of people with "Manor" last names. Of course, image recognition was already done before and that process required much much longer time and machine resources. Please contact us if you need large image sets or need to tag your own large collections using our neural networks.
