(ERA) Project # 15-153-03 Prepared by DS/ AP / BB Page 58 of 155 4 CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT | HILLARY HOUSE 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ERA has been engaged by the Town of Aurora and the Aurora Historical Society to update their 2017 Condition Assessment Report to include the work performed on the property to date as well as outlining any remaining and new work required. ERA coordinated with Smith + Andersen (Electrical & mechanical consultants), and Eternity Engineering (Structural consultant) to provide added condition discipline discipline-specific condition assessment and an updated costing. The objective of the condition assessment update is to establish the existing condition of the building, and to describe the extent and quality of the work performed on the property. Further, the report reviews and updates the existing conservation strategies and priorities from the 2017 report and incorporates the conservation strategy established in the 2022 ERA Feasibility Study for the Summer Kitchen. The conservation recommendations were divided into priority levels: Priority Description Timeline 1 Urgent: Risk of a system failure or life-safety exists. 0-1 year 2 Medium Term: Regular maintenance and upkeep. 0-5 years 3 Long Term: Strategic objectives and Heritage asset planning. 0-10 years Hillary House, East Elevation, 2013. (Wikimedia Commons) Page 59 of 155 5ISSUED/REVISED: 21 DECEMBER 2023 ERA maintains the 2017 recommendation to excavate masonry foundations at the north, south and west elevations of the 1869 addition to inspect for deterioration and repair as required. Repair work would include removal of cement mortars, repointing, brick replacement, patching of holes and stitching of cracks, as well as repair of foundation issues from test pit investigation. See item 2.3.2 Foundation Damage on Main House for further information. (Item 11) 2 OVERVIEW OF CONDITION ASSESSMENT 2.1 Work executed since 2017 Report Overall, the property was maintained with a number of recommendations from the 2017 report implemented. Recommendations that have been executed or have become irrelevant are listed in the updated costing analysis with a zero-dollar value and “grayed-out.” The Verandah Conservation Project was tendered in Spring 2021 and partially completed. Remaining or deficient work is listed in the cost analysis and discussed in the latter half of the report. ERA was informed at the time of the site visit that the wood components of the McIntyre Coach House have been sold and relocated off site. 2.2 Outstanding Observations since 2017 Report The following observations noted in the 2017 report remain valid at the time of ERA’s visit to the site in 2023. The associated recommendations have been carried over into the updated costing analysis and are represented in black text and completion status set as “No”. The timelines for the recommendations remain unchanged. 2.2.1 General Exterior Review The condition of the exterior masonry at Hillary House has remained mostly unchanged, apart from the foundation deteriorations on west elevation of the main house which will be discussed under New Observations. Selective repointing and brick replacement on masonry walls and wood windows maintenance and re-painting is recommended as within the next five years. Foundation at South elevation of ball room, closed-off crawlspace venting. Page 60 of 155 6 CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT | HILLARY HOUSE 2.2.2 Veranda Floor and North Staircase Deficient and incomplete work from the verandah conservation Project includes re-grading at east verandah face to attain a minimum of 2% slope away from the building, restoration of the north veranda stairs, a perimeter skirt to prevent vermin from entering, as well as remediation of deficient paint and woodwork on the verandah decking and wood lattices. 2.2.3 Rear Summer Kitchen Addition The condition and heritage status of the rear summer kitchen as well as the conservation strategy has been discussed in the 2022 ERA report titled “Hillary House Summer Kitchen Feasibility Report” in this report ERA recommends an in-depth investigation and refinement of the conservation scope and rehabilitation of the summer kitchen to prevent further deterioration or collapse of the asset. A single line-item (item 28) is carried in the cost analysis with escalated value for 2023. 2.2.4 Animal Infestation Vermin infestations appear to be addressed with ongoing efforts of entry prevention, wildlife traps and cleaning. While this issue remains acute at present, it would be substantially reduced with the rehabilitation of the summer kitchen and addressing of verandah deficiencies. 2.2.5 Roof and Attic ERA was not able to confirm the remediation of the missing or damaged flashing about the chimney base and western eaves at the roof of the 1869 addition. The associated items are carried over in the cost analysis. 2.2.6 Bedroom Wallpaper At the time of the visit the condition of the wallpaper in second floor bedrooms appeared to be unchanged since 2017. Refer to Conservation recommendations in 2017 report. The associated cost of the investigation is carried over in the cost analysis. North Verandah missing stairs to ten- nis court. Deficient paint work at exterior west veranda stairs. Rear Summer kitchen addition.

(ERA, 2023) Page 62 of 155 8 CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT | HILLARY HOUSE 2.3 New Observations since 2017 New observations include newly discovered conditions or developments of previously recorded observations. New observations are noted in the Preliminary Cost Analysis and highlighted in light-blue. Of these, four observations are considered Priority-1 items and require urgent attention. Rupture at PVC pipe with wash-out of backfill at foundation. One of 2 capped off drain pipes under south verandah crawl space. PVC rain water pipe collecting water from 5 rainwater leaders. 2.3.1 Rainwater Management ERA observed a rupture on the white PVC rainwater drainage pipe at the corner of west elevation of the main house and the north elevation of the 1869 addition. The single 6-inch pipe was laid against the exterior walls of the main house, 1869 and 1888 additions and services five rainwater leaders (approx. 45% of roof area) and two sump pump water exits. It contains numerous elbows which decrease flow and increase the risk of freezing in winter. (Item 10) It is recommended that the all rainwater leaders and sump pumps be serviced individually by leading 2-metre long horizontally laid lead-coated-copper pipes away from the foundation walls. Connecting rainwater leaders at grade unnecessarily compounds the risk of back-ups and eventual failures. To prevent freezing and back-ups a temperature actuated heat trace system can be installed in the rain gear. It is also recommended that the remaining rainwater leaders and gutters be inspected and serviced for proper operation. (Item 17) The bottom landing of the Verandah exterior access stair and verandah basement do not appear to be drained. Two PVC drains exist in the crawlspace under the south verandah, but they are capped off. It should be investigated whether drains are operational. It is advisable to pour a slab-on-grade for veranda basement and hook-up the drains. A new drain should be provided for the bottom landing of verandah access stairs and connected to the veranda basement drains. (Item 16) 2.3.2 Foundation Damage on Main House The rupture on the white PVC rainwater drainage pipe previously noted has caused the ground at the foundation to wash out. It is assumed that a significant amount of water has entered through the foundation this way. (Item 7) The area around the affected foundation should be excavated to depth of the footing and reviewed by a heritage architect and structural engineer. The fieldstone masonry will need be deep repointed and rebuild as required. Backfill should be done with non compactible fill and a positive slope, away from building be provided. While this repair work overlaps with the repointing of below grade Page 63 of 155 9ISSUED/REVISED: 21 DECEMBER 2023 field stone scope (Item 2) it should be addressed with urgence. This scope of work overlaps with (Item 11) At the 1869 addition a window well on the north elevation and crawlspace vent well on the south elevation appear to lack sufficient ventilation and water drainage. There is a risk of moisture ingress through these openings. The south window well should be cleared out to allow proper ventilation of the crawlspace. A secure steel grate should be installed to prevent any fall risks or vermin infestations. The north window well should be lowered to prevent water ingress through the window. The window requires repair. (Item 15) As a result of inadequate re-grading of landscaping around verandah east elevation in the Veranda Conservation Project (2021) the risk remains for moisture damage to the wood structure of the verandah (and the (east elevation foundation). Re-grading to a minimum of 2% slope away from the building should be completed as per original contract documents. As a preventative measure we recommended a 2-foot-deep French drain be installed along f the entire length of the east verandah edge with dry wells at both ends. This item is noted as a Priority-2 recommendation. (Item 20) 2.3.3 Concealed Conditions behind Basement Waterproofing ERA noted a concealed condition at fieldstone foundations underneath basement waterproofing. Insulating and waterproofing historic rubble masonry walls carries a risk of masonry mortar deterioration due to continuous moisture buildup. The added insulation on the interior side of the masonry moves the freezing point inwards to within masonry. This situation increases the risk of freeze-thaw action during the cold months which can lead to premature failure of the lime mortar. In addition, no capillary break between masonry and bearing timbers was observed. A lack of capillary break under the timber frame increases the risk of moisture travelling up the foundation wall into the timber frame which is in direct contact with the wall. Waterproofing and insulating rubble masonry foundation walls from the interior is not necessarily a bad thing. However, the associated risks have to be managed and controlled if necessary. ERA recommends an intrusive investigation of the condition of the exterior foundation walls and timber bearing connections be done. An allowance should be made for up to eight investigative openings on the interior side by pulling back sections of waterproofing membrane to review the foundation wall surfaces. 1869 addition north elevation window well with broken window. Landscape grading towards east elevation of house. Uncovered, deterioratedfieldstone foundation under waterprrofing in basement. Basement waterproofing concealing masonry wall Page 64 of 155 10 CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT | HILLARY HOUSE 2.3.5 1888 addition Verandah Cedar Roof The cedar shingle roof of the 1888 Addition verandah appears to be partially covered with moss, indicating prolonged exposure to moisture. It is likely that the shingles in this area have experienced accelerated decay and will need early replacement. The moss growth should be removed from roof the affected area to allow for the shingles to dry out. Due to the prone condition and state of the roof a replacement of cedar shingle roof should be considered within 5-10 years. (Item 24) 2.3.6 Woodwork at main House Roof The wood finials at the north and south gable ends show advanced deteriorations. Some wood elements have detached. The barge boards at the south gable end show localized splitting. Local wood repairs and repainting of the finials and barge boards should be performed to prevent further disintegration. (Item 23) It may be beneficial to periodically monitor these locations by making the openings re-sealable access flaps. (Item 18) 2.3.4 Verandah Roof and Skylights The Board and batten roof of the verandah shows peeling paint and localized wood deteriorations on all three sided. Both skylights on the north side have deteriorations on the wood frames and glazing with water penetration likely. One of the two skylights has been boarded up with painted OSB boards. ERA recommends local repairs of board and batten roof as well as scraping, re-painting of the roof on all sides. The repair and re-glazing of the two skylights should also be considered. (Item 22) Moss seen on 1888 addition verandah cedar roof. Wood finial at south gable. 2.3.7 Hillary House Barn An in-depth assessment of the Hillary House barn was not undertaken for the 2017 Condition Assessment Report. Although an investigation of the barn is not part of this report, the consultant team undertook a brief review and found that the wood structure contains significant deteriorations at grade and is no longer properly supported. The ERA and Eternity opines that the barn is at its state not fit to be used for occupancy or storage. It is advised to remove all storage from barn and cease use of barn until a detailed condition assessment be done by a structural consultant and heritage consultant.

Page 66 of 155 12 CONDITION ASSESSMENT REPORT | HILLARY HOUSE 3 CONSERVATION RECOMMENDATIONS & PRELIMINARY COST ANALYSIS UPDATE The following cost estimate has been prepared for the Hillary House Condition Assessment Update based on the preliminary scope of work outlined above. Please note, in preparing this estimate, the following limitations and exclusions apply: The estimates are to be understood as recommended allowances for each general work item, rather than as construction cost estimates relating to a specific and quantified scope of work. In the past, hyperinflation has occurred because of unexpected local or regional market factors, such as the number of projects being tendered at the same time, the likelihood that certain trades have limitations in their bids, uncertainties in the approval process, and time periods for tendering and construction. There is no accounting for unpredictable costs associated with labour resource shortages, supply and demand cycles, or travel and per diem costs. The value of all work items is carried in 2023-dollars. Values for items from 2017 and 2022 cost estimates have been adjusted using escalation factors from Statistics Canada.

ERA has reviewed the current condition of the Hillary House and categorized the site observations and recommendations into three groups: 1. Work completed since the last report, 2. Work that remains outstanding since the last report, and 3. Observations of new developments or conditions. The Conservation Recommendations and Preliminary Cost Analysis has been updated to incorporate new and existing findings in order of priority. (1. Urgent, 2. Medium Term and 3. Long Term) Overall, the property was maintained and a number of recommendations from the 2017 report have since been implemented. While the interiors of the house have not undergone any significant work, the rooms have remained in stable condition with no observations of new deteriorations. A matter requiring urgent attention is the rainwater management on the north elevation of the house and additions. (Items 7 and 10) Emergency repairs to the PVC pipes on the exterior side of the main house west elevations should be undertaken to stop the flow of water into the foundation this winter season before foundation repairs can be undertaken the following spring. ERA reiterates the 2017 report recommendation to excavate masonry foundations at the north, south and west elevations of the 1869 addition to inspect for deteriorations in other areas, and to repair as required. As a related urgent priority, a detailed structural analysis should be carried out on the Hillary House barn which was flagged by Structural Consultant Eternity Engineering as not fit for occupancy or storage due to extensive deterioration of the timber structure at grate. We recommend this be done by a structural engineer with experience in the rehabilitation of historic structures, or in conjunction with a heritage architectural consultant. Another short-term objective should be to remove archival storage items and shelving from the second-floor bedroom room in order to not exceed the live load design of the floor structure, or to add temporary shoring down to the foundation until the storage has been removed. Beyond addressing the urgent priorities and as an important next step, ERA recommends that the Medium- Term Priority Items from the ERA condition assessment Reports and Long-Term Strategic Objectives and the Summer Kitchen Feasibility report be integrated into a comprehensive Conservation Management Plan that develops the management strategy for the entire Hillary House property.

Gallo Ron Weese Councillors Jodi Marr Secretary & Treasurer Christina Choo-Hum Greg Smith John Clement Trustees Message from the Board Chair & CEO At Aurora Public Library, 2024 was a year defined by growth, connection, and innovation. We proudly expanded our reach, enriched our collections, and delivered outstanding programs that brought our community together. Our commitment to inclusivity and lifelong learning remained at the heart of everything we did, whether it was launching new cultural meetups, introducing the Library of Things, or presenting meaningful Indigenous programming.

In the latter half of the year, we welcomed a new CEO, bringing fresh leadership and a continued dedication to excellence. Looking ahead, we are excited to build on these achievements, always striving to inspire, inform, and connect our community. Thank you for making 2024 a remarkable year.
