The Foley House Today
In 1997, the great, great-granddaughter of Declan Foley converted the mercantile into The Foley Arms (then, Remy's Westport) restaurant and pub at which patrons are served while seated at the original 1867 sales counter. The Foley House looks much the same today as it did when it was constructed. The residence has been maintained and improved under the guidance of Sir John A. Macdonald homestead, Bellevue House curator, a resident of Westport. The home was sold out of the Foley family in 2002. In 2008 the house sold again and is currently being converted back into a single family estate.

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or today:
“The welcome house of him my dearest guest.
Where ever, ever stay, and go not thence,
Till natures sad decree shall call thee hence;
Flesh of thy flesh, bone of thy bone,
I here, thou there, yet both but one.”
—Anne Bradstreet (c. 1612–1672)
“There was a time when the average reader read a novel simply for the moral he could get out of it, and however naïve that may have been, it was a good deal less naïve than some of the limited objectives he has now. Today novels are considered to be entirely concerned with the social or economic or psychological forces that they will by necessity exhibit, or with those details of daily life that are for the good novelist only means to some deeper end.”
—Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
