Union Club, a social club in Cap Haitien - 1907

Here is a picture of Union Club which was a social club in Cap Haitian on the beginning of 1900s

The 1800's were the golden age for Cap Haitian, then called Le Cap, or, The Cape. The town was legendary in the French Empire and was viewed as the richest colony under the French cap.
