Clouds come floating into my life

In the early 20th Century, tinsmith Honoré Foisey
advertised his trade by decorating the outside of his
Lowertown Ottawa house.
When the house was demolished in 1961,
the façade was saved and later reproduced by
artist Art Price using original and fabricated parts.
This one-of-a-kind façade, installed here in 1973
as public art, has become the artistic focal point of this
courtyard that now bears its name.
