Foisy House
Address: 188 St. Andrew Street
Construction date: 1859-1860
The Foisy House, built in 1859-1860, is an example of typical small French Canadian wooden houses built according to the technique of piece-by-piece construction.
It belonged to one of the first tinsmiths in Bytown, Alexis Foisy, who lived at that location with his family from 1860 to 1876.
The beautiful wooden door crowned by a pinion in the shape of a hat, multi-pane windows and charming gable skylights, do not fail to catch the eyes of passersby.
Foisy House remains one of the primary examples of Franco-Ontarian heritage buildings. The building remains a residential dwelling to this day.
