December 1941. "Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands. Along the main street." Medium format negative by Jack Delano. View full size.
I would be willing to bet that the building still exists as Charlotte Amalie preserves it's its colonial-style buildings and this style is everywhere there.
Now, it probably houses an air-conditioned store selling duty-free diamonds and watches to the cruise ship crowd. So, in a way, it's still serving the same purpose: A store. (Oh and those shutters would now be bright blue like the picture here:)
