Arthur Abel Complex

This was one of Peter von Scholten schools that was created on St.Croix. It's  named after Arthur Abel because he is one of the four generation of great masonry work and one of his ancestors built this building.  He was also Mr.Public Works & he maintained the building that still stands in Frederiksted today. This building was an old danish school and then converted into a military hospital. In the 19th century it was then transformed back in to a school in accordance to Peter von Scholten directive from King Frederick VI to provide universal, compulsory education. In 1989, Hurricane Hugo destroyed the building but then was restored in April of 2009.
