The Hiram Moore House (c.1830), St. Armand Station.
The house of Hiram Moore is situated at the intersection of the roads in the village of St. Armand Station. During the raid of December 6, 1837, some of the wounded Patriotes took refuge in the Moore household. The front door of the house was later knocked down with a butt of a rifle by an over-zealous Alexander Walbridge. Several wounded and exhausted men were found lying in the parlour and in an adjoining bedroom. They quickly surrendered to the Philipsburg "army."
Listed among the wounded Patriote prisoners captured at the Moore house were Robert Shore Milnes Bouchette of Quebec, who led the advance guard of the rebels, and Julien Gagnon, one of the Patriote leaders of the raid. (Photo: Heather Darch)
