About location: Both the NRHP document and the NPS webpage state, incorrectly, that the site is 6 miles west of Frederiksted. Frederiksted is on the western coast of St. Croix however and west of it is out at sea. Slob is in fact 6 miles west of Christiansted. Based on sketch map and description of location in the NRHP document, and Google maps identification of "Slob Historic District" (17°43′52″N 64°46′48″W / 17.731119°N 64.779882°W / 17.731119; -64.779882), it is located on what Google Maps terms "Route 69", which runs north from Centerline Rd. (Route 69 may or may not be U.S. Virgin Islands Highway 69 (currently a redlink) in the highways listed at List of United States Virgin Islands highways.) According to OpenSource map, that would be VI 633 (so perhaps U.S. Virgin Islands Highway 663). Adjacent, to the west, is the north end of the large Kingshill Cemetery. The estate was visible from Centerline Rd. when the NRHP document was written, but is obscured by trees by 2016. The tower is directly on Route 69, on the east side of the road, at exactly 17°43′56″N 64°46′48″W / 17.732101°N 64.779879°W / 17.732101; -64.779879 (Tower ruin) as determined by Google Streetview to match photo in the NRHP document. The windmill ruin at top of hill in the estate appears to be the structure at exactly 17°43′52″N 64°46′48″W / 17.731230°N 64.780115°W / 17.731230; -64.780115 (Windmill ruin), which is visible in Google satellite view and is visible by Google Streetview from ground level in housing complex parking lot to the north. The Great House appears to be the structure at exactly 17°43′52″N 64°46′50″W / 17.731012°N 64.780477°W / 17.731012; -64.780477 (Great House).
