Grove Place, U.S. Virgin Islands

Estate Grove Place is a historic sugar plantation located in Prince Quarter, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands.

It is significant for its 19th century remains of typical buildings of a sugar plantation, including a factory, wagon depot, and chimney.

The wagon depot is unique in its elaborate use of local materials in construction which clearly shows the amount of wealth connected with the estate.

Grove Place is one of the few remaining examples of a complete sugar plantation complex in the Virgin Islands.

The factory ruins and wagon depot are fine examples of the classic revival style, which was popular in the Virgin Islands in the 19th century.

There is a historic marker on site for the tree and 12 laborers burnt alive there for taking part in Queen Mary's Rebellion.
