HISTORY of the Foran House:
Jean Delisle (1850s): Jean Delisle, a lawyer who settled in Aylmer in the early 1850s, used this wooden house--built with 35-centimeter-thick hand-hewn logs (which can still be seen in the kitchen)--as his law office.
John Murphy (mid-1860s): John Murphy was a shoemaker who set up his shop in the southwest corner of the residence. According to sources, he also worked for the river shipping company Union Forwarding as a boat captain and bookkeeper. When the brand-new Regional Courthouse opened just a stone's throw from his home, he became the first warden of the prison. Mr. Murphy lived at 12 Broad for over thirty years.
John Foran (1883): John Foran, an Irish immigrant, arrived in Aylmer in 1829 and quickly became a prosperous lumber merchant. His social role is also noteworthy; a justice of the peace for several years, he was one of the first elected councilors of the new village of Aylmer in 1847. He purchased the property in 1883 to live there.
Recognition: The house is listed in the Répertoire du patrimoine culturel du Québec, which means it has been identified as a site of interest: the John Foran House has recognized heritage value, but it is not automatically protected by law.
