What the Bainet church looked like in the early 1900s, according to Bonnaud. The area in those days looked rather different from the more developed Saint-Pierre Church of later decades, although we are seeing the church from the hills, not the place.

After Haiti Sun's flattering piece on Bainet, this picture of the Church appeared in the journal. Then we also have the paintings of Edgar Jean-Baptiste for other views on Bainet:

Besides Edgar Jean-Baptiste's painting of this view of the town, he also completed a painting of the Place Saint-Pierre before UNICEF, 1974, available at the Haitian Art Society site.
Our small town may not be as pretty as Jacmel or as impressive as other Haitian or Caribbean cities, but we think it is special. We hope the Eglise Saint-Pierre is fully restored and Bainet sees a brighter future.
