Embassy of the United States Port Au Prince, Haiti

The U.S. Embassy, Port-au-Prince, Haiti

The previous U.S. Embassy

The U.S. Embassy to Haiti houses all U.S. government agencies and is currently located in Tabarre, a suburb just outside of Port-au-Prince.

Prior to the move in 2008, U.S. government agencies occupied sveral different facilities, including the old embassy site Boulevard Harry Truman, in downtown Port-au-Prince. After relocation in 2008, the U.S. government leased the property to the Government of Haiti for $1.  It currently hosts offices for several Haitian ministries and the headquarters of the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission.

A historic gingerbread building on the Champs-de-Mars in downtown Port-au-Prince served as the previous embassy building, and prior to that a post-colonial building on Rue Bonne Foi served as the American Legation.
