A young Alexander Hamilton would not have known the building on the corner of Company Street and King Cross Street as the Quin House, but the boy and his mother almost certainly knew the place well. More than 261 years after its construction, Christiansted’s historic landmark is for sale.

The three-story stone-and-wood structure first appeared on tax records in 1764 but may have been built by Capt. John Hart in 1762 or earlier. Owners of the building from 1769 forward included Danish and Dutch merchants, clerks, lawyers, and government officials.

In 1782, Jean and Nicholas Pissaro, or Piscaro, rented the house at 51 Company Street. Their exact connection to St. Thomas-born Camille Pissarro is not clear, but they are likely relatives, historian George F. Tyson postulated in a 1996 report on the property for the St. Croix Landmarks Society.

In 1891, author and St. Croix Avis publisher John T. Quin purchased the house that now has his name. Two more generations of Quins would own the property into the 1950s.

The Quin House’s glory days are far from over, according to realtors who have the property on the market for $1.925 million. New owners would inherit renters that include law offices and a popular restaurant — and the potential for much more.

Zoned B-1, the Quin House has a 2,000-square-foot enclosed courtyard with 765 square feet of space for a restaurant kitchen, bar area, and two half baths. The building has nearly 3,000 square feet of indoor space on the first floor and 2,275 square feet on the second floor.

A 1,000-square-foot third-floor apartment overlooks Christiansted and its harbor from three dormers and a rooftop deck. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo — cooled by split-unit air conditioning units — could be a lucrative vacation rental.

Five office spaces on the second floor could be changed into one large space by opening existing doors. The two half baths on the second floor, which listing agents suggest could also be converted into a large apartment, have central air conditioning.

The corner property has multiple access points from the arcades along Company Street and King Cross Street. Listing agents suggest renting to a boutique, restaurant, wine bar, coffee shop, art gallery, or converting the space into a boutique hotel.

The nearly 7,000 square foot building has multiple entrances, one water meter, and five electrical meters — two for the second-level office space. The interior retains classic architectural features, including historic Danish brick. The gutters are copper and two of the three levels have large wooden hurricane shutters. The building has a cistern and an untested well.

Listing agents claim the historic property is in pristine condition — pretty good for a house built more than a dozen years before the American Revolution and a century before the American Civil War.
