Welcome to St. Croix Globes, Maps and Prints. Right now, we have available what is quite possibly the most extensive collection of hand-colored, early architectural plans in the world. These are beautiful houses, churches and buildings taken from 19th century architectural journals. Many of these still exist today. These unique and original pictures are representative of the work of the finest architects of the Victorian and post-Victorian era and are a window into a time when architecture was in its infancy.

St. Croix Antiquarian Booksellers, owned by Gary Goodman, has branched out into a few new areas in the past two years and our new website reflects these changes.
A major new area for us is the St. Croix Globes, Maps, and Prints site. We now carry the fine line of Repogle brand globes, which are world renowned for their craftsmanship and cartographic detail. In addition, we have expanded our map section to include a wide selection of hand-colored 19th century maps.
Along with our other fine prints we have purchased an extensive collection of hand-colored 19th century architectural plans, primarily from the years 1875-1899. These plans include U.S. and Canadian houses, buildings, hospitals, government institutions and churches designed by the finest architects of the era. These are available in a searchable database by state, town or architect.
Every so often we will roll back the bookshelves and host a comic performance at what we call The Goodman Theatre. Check this section for any upcoming performances.
