In the early 20th century, tinsmith Honore Foisy advertised his trade by decorating the outside of his Lowertown Ottawa house, which stood a few blocks from the courtyard. When the house was demolished in 1961, the facade was saved and later reproduced by artist Art Price using original and fabricated parts. The one-of-a-kind facade was installed in the Courtyard as public art in 1973.
