Port-au-Prince ca. 1893


Interesting images of Haiti around 1892-1893 can be found in Haiti: A Handbook. We have important edifices in the city, such as the House of Deputies above.


A handful of street scenes can also be found displaying the city, mostly built in wood, with poor roads, and even a pedestrian.


Here is the Place de la Paix, looking rather simple and unadorned.


A less than stellar view of Port-au-Prince from the sea. 


Last, but certainly not least, is the Rue  Américaine.
