In the historic center of Cap-Haitian, the Altieri House is part of an important architectural heritage. After they acquire the building in 1986, the Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) started years later to renovate the former department store and hotel. Great care was taken to preserve its 19th century gingerbread style while adapting the complex to modern needs.

Directed by Richard Senecal.

    The National Bank of Haiti who now owns the place may be interested in the pictures you have. Part of the house is now a museum…
