front and side porch have been proposed because certain elements of the porch are in a
state of disrepair and are deteriorating. The columns, the wooden deck boards, the brick
skirt under the porch and the porch vents all need to be repaired and where necessary,
replaced with compatible materials. The character defining elements of the building will not
be affected through conducting these repairs. In reviewing the merits of this application,
Heritage Planning staff note that the proposed porch repairs are consistent with Parks
Canada's The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada
and that these repairs will not adversely impact the heritage value of the building.
BACKGROUND:

REPORT:
The subject property is municipally addressed as 73 Queen Street North, also known as the
Governor's House, and is located on the east side of Queen Street near the intersection of
Queen Street North and Weber Street. The historical complex, of which the subject property
is a part of includes two historical buildings-, the Waterloo County Jail (municipally addressed
as 77 Queen Street North), and the Governor's House. This heritage permit application
related to the front porch of the Governor's House (Fig. 2 &3). The 2 -storey house has
historical, architectural, and contextual value.

Historical Value
The Waterloo County Jail is the oldest existing government building in Kitchener and the
last remaining original county building. It was built in 1852, and the construction of the jail
greatly affected the development of Berlin (now Kitchener) in the ensuing years. The
Governor's House was added in 1878. It was designed by local architect David W.
Gingerich, and was home to the "Gaoler" (person in -charge of the jail) and has been an
integral part of the complex for over 100 years.
Architectural Value
The Governor's House was built in the mid-Victorian Italian Villa architectural style and is
one of the last existing houses of this type in the area. The home reflected the Governor's
respected position in the Town of Berlin (now Kitchener) at the time. It is an unusually
constructed building with a four -storey tower and a Mansard roof.
Contextual Value
Both the Waterloo County Jail and the Governor's House are important in defining the
establishment of Waterloo County. They are located within Kitchener's north-east downtown
district, known as the Civic District. The Governor's House was built to fit in with the existing
neighborhood and to act as a visual barrier between the surrounding community and the
Jail.
The subject property was designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by way of
designating by-law 81-105 (Attachment E) for its historical, architectural, and contextual
values. The exterior physical heritage attributes of the building include:
• Buff brick in an L-shaped layout-,
Page 132 of 379
• Offset four -storey tower with Mansard Roof and dormer windows; and
• Brick quoining, tower and wood brackets.
The interior features that contribute to the architectural value of the Governor's House
include the circular staircase leading to the top of the tower.
However, the designating by-law protects the "exterior of all the buildings and structures on
the premises", which is why the proposed front porch repairs required a heritage permit.
Proposed Porch Repair
The scope of work includes the ground floor front and side porch (Attachment C). There are
elements of the ground -floor front porch that are deteriorating. An inspection report
(Attachment D) prepared in 2020 identified:
• Rot damage in some of the columns on the front and side facade (Fig 4 & 5);
Figure 4: Damage to the front facade Figure 5: Damage to the front fagade
columns columns
Page 133 of 379
• Some wooden deck boards have also deteriorated due to rot and require repairs,
cleaning and repainting (Fig. 6 & 7);

• The mortarjoints of the brick skirt surrounding the porch has become loose, creating
openings (Fig. 8 & 9);

• The wood -framed porch vents located in the brick skits have also become loose due
to moisture, creating openings (Fig. 10 & 11).

Repair of Columns
Figure 11: Loose wood -framed porch vents on

The deteriorated part of the columns will be repaired using the dutchman repair technique —
using wood with matching grain pattern and painted to the match the existing paint colour.
The wood proposed for the repairs is fir species wood (Attachment B).
Cleaning, Replacement and Repainting of Wooden Boards on the Deck
The wooden deck boards on the perimeter of the porch need to be temporarily removed to
examine the extent of deterioration. A structural review will be conducted by an engineer to
confirm the structural conditions and suggest recommendations for remediation, if required.
If it is determined that the removed deck boards have significantly deteriorated and cannot
be repaired, the remainder of the board will be salvaged for use and the deteriorated part of
the deck board will be replaced by new fir species wooden boards using the Dutchman
repair technique. The repaired wooden deck boards will then be re -installed in the porch.
The remainder of the deck boards will remain in place and will be cleaned and repainted
(Attachment B).
Repointing of Mortar Joints on the Brick Skirt
As mentioned above, some mortar joints of the brick skirt surrounding the porch have
become loose. Repointing of most of the brick skirt is required and is proposed with a lime -
based mortar. As part of the monitoring construction work, the applicant's heritage
Page 135 of 379
consultant is requiring that sample mortars be prepared by the contractor for review and
approval. Staff are also requiring that mortar samples be submitted and approved prior to
their application to ensure that no further deterioration happens.
Replacement of Wood -Framed Porch Vents located under the Ground Floor Railing
There are three (3) wood -framed porch vents located under the ground floor railing. Due to
moisture, the wood -framed porch vent located under the ground floor railing have become
loose. New compatible and interim aluminum porch vents are proposed to replace the
existing wood frame porch vents (Fig. 12). They will be caulked and sealed at the bottom.
This will achieve two things:
• The new aluminum vents will not allow moisture to seep through, which would have
been a possibility if the existing wood -framed porch vents are replaced with new
wood -frame porch vents; and
• This will improve the functionality, durability, and protection of the porch base.
The installation of the new interim aluminum porch vents are reversible and can be removed
in the future if required. The paint colour of the existing wood -framed porch vent is
brown/maroon, and staff are requiring that the applicant get approval from staff regarding
the paint colour prior to painting these vents.

The proposed alterations meets the "Eight Guiding Principles of Conservation of Built
Heritage Properties", especially:
• Respect for historic material — repair or conserve rather than replace building
materials and finishes, except where absolutely necessary-,
• Respect for original fabric — repair with like materials, to return the resource to its
prior condition without altering its integrity;
• Reversibility — alterations should be able to be returned to original conditions. This
conserves earlier building design and technique-, and
• Maintenance — with continuous care, future restoration will not be necessary.
The proposed alteration meets Parks Canada's The Standards and Guidelines for the
Conservation of Historical Places in Canada, especially:
• Conserve changes to an historic place that, over time, have become character -
defining elements on their own right-,
• Conserve heritage value by adopting an approach calling for minimal intervention-,
Page 137 of 379
• Evaluate the existing condition of character -defining elements to determine the
appropriate intervention needed. Use the gentlest means possible for any
intervention. Respect heritage value when undertaking an intervention;
• Make any intervention needed to preserve character -defining elements physically
and visually compatible with the historic place and identifiable on close inspection.
Document any intervention for future reference; and
• Repairing parts of entrances, porches, or balconies by patching, piecing -in,
consolidating or otherwise reinforcing, using recognized conservation methods.
Repair might also include the limited replacement in kind, or with a compatible
substitute material, of those extensively deteriorated or missing parts of entrances,
porches and balconies. Repairs should match the existing work as closely as
possible, both physically and visually.
Heritage Planning Comments
In reviewing the merits of the application, heritage planning staff make the following
comments:
• The subject property municipally addressed as 73 Queen Street North is designated
under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by way of designating by-law 81-105;
• Certain portions of the ground -floor porch have deteriorated and are in need of repair;
• The main treatment method for the porch repairs is preservation, intervening only
where necessary;
• There are some portions on the columns which have significantly deteriorated and
will be repaired using the Dutchman repair technique;
• The wooden board decks at the perimeter of the porch will be temporarily removed
to determine the extent of damage and the level of treatment, if required. The
remaining wooden deck boards will be left in place, cleaned and painted;
• Significantly deteriorated portions of the wooden perimeter deck boards will be
replaced using the Dutchman repair technique;
• Most of brick skirt under the front porch needs to be repointed, which will be done
using a lime -based mortar;
• The wooden -framed porch vents have become loose due to moisture, and will be
replaced with aluminum vents which will be caulked and sealed at the bottom to
prevent further damage to the porch base. These vents are compatible, more
durable, and reversible, if required.
• The proposed porch repair is consistent with Parks Canada's The Standards and
Guidelines for Historical Places in Canada with respect to the proposed repairs and
replacements in terms of materials and scale;
• Original architectural features will remain;
• No interior and exterior character -defining elements of the building will be affected
through the proposed repairs; and
• The proposed repairs will not adversely impact the reasons for designation of the
property nor the Queen Street North streetscape.
In accordance with the Heritage Permit Application form, the approval of an application
under the Ontario Heritage Act shall not be a waiver of any of the provisions of any by-laws
of the City of Kitchener or legislation, including but not limited to, the requirements of the
Ontario Building Code and Zoning By-law. In this regard, staff confirm that a Building Permit
is not required to undertake the proposed porch repairs.

Waterloo County Governor's House
Porch Conservation
73 Queen Street North
City of Kitchener, ON
HERITAGE PROPERTY SIGNIFICANCE
Listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places March 27, 2008.
Property Designation: Waterloo County Jail and Governor's House
May 25, 1981 under Part IV, Ontario Heritage Act, By-law 81-105.
The Statement of Significance lists the character -defining elements (CDE) that contribute to the heritage
value of the Waterloo County Governor's House as:
- buff brick construction in an L-shaped layout
- offset four -storey tower with Mansard roof and dormer windows
- brick quoining, tower and wood brackets
- circular staircase leading to the top of the tower
- positioning of the Governor's House in front of the fail
- location within Kitchener's downtown core
- location within the Civic District in Kitchener's downtown.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORK
Background
In December of 2020, the owner requested an engineering firm review the framing of the Queen Street
entrance wood porch reported to be deteriorating and determine the extent of the repair work required. A
preliminary visual reviewwas undertaken to understand the scope of the porch and requirements.
Observations noted in the inspection report (SBM Preliminary Structural Opinion of Front Porch, dated
January 4, 2020 attached), include rot damage to the base of the columns and decking. It also noted that
the upper balcony guard post has moisture damage with recommendation for it to be reviewed in closer
detail.
The owner, the Region of Waterloo retained +VG Architects in March of 2022 to assist with the porch repairs
and structural investigation. +VG (The Ventin Group Architects) previously assisted the Region with major
restoration work of the County Jail and Governor's House in 2001).
Scope of Work
The extent of +VG's role is to review the porch deck level elements for repair and structural integrity but
does not include the balcony above. Recommendations only will be made for the balcony balusters and
rail as noted on the drawings. The amount of damaged areas is relatively small and the intent is to
conserve existing porch woodwork using the approach from the Standards & Guidelines below, the least
intrusive methods are to be applied.
Approach
As per the Standards and Guidelines for Canada's for the Conservation of Canada's Historic Places, +VG
will approach the porch work applying the 3 steps of the conservation -making process.
1. Determine the primary treatment
Preservation will be the guiding principle since the intent is to conserve the existing features that
contribute to the heritage value of the building. The deteriorated features are mainly intact, but
VG Architects
Page 144 of 379
+VG
stabilization is required due to exposure to environmental conditions. All work is intended to match
existing.
2. Apply the Standards
General Standards that apply to the work scope are:
# 1 Conserve the heritage value of an historic place.
Do not remove, replace or substantially alter character -defining elements.
Intent: The porch materials are not original, however they contribute to the heritage
value of the building. Some elements will temporarily be removed to investigate the
conditions leading to their deteriorated state. For example, removal of the deteriorated
deck boards at the perimeter will require that the columns along the Queen St side be
temporarily removed. Both columns and deck boards will be reviewed for the level of
treatment needed: cleaning, sanding and repainting, or repair. Where deck board
areas are too deteriorated for repair, the remainder of the board will be salvaged to be
reused on the deck. New wood will be fir which currently is the most stable in our field
experience for this type of application. The method will use the Dutchman repair.
#3 Conserve heritage value by adopting an approach calling for minimal intervention.
Intent: The approach will leave elements in place where possible. Wood repair in situ for
example on the upper balusters and rails if required, will involve removal of rotted wood,
with Dutchman repair or epoxy filler, sanded and painted to protect the heritage
features. Also see #7 below.
#7 Evaluate the existing condition of character -defining elements to determine the
appropriate intervention needed. Use the gentlest means possible for any intervention.
Intent: +VG proposes to investigate the deck condition by removal of perimeter deck
boards which are currently in poor condition. Structural review will then be conducted
by an engineer to confirm structural conditions below, and recommendations for
remediation if required. The remainder of the porch deck boards will remain in place for
cleaning and repainting.
#8 Maintain character -defining elements on an ongoing basis. Repair character -defining
elements by reinforcing their materials using recognized conservation methods. Replace
in kind any extensively deteriorated or missing parts of character -defining elements,
where there are surviving prototypes.
Intent:
Woodwork: Some existing columns and bases contain deteriorated areas have been
repaired or are currently open and exposed. Woodwork will be repaired using
Dutchman repair with matching grain pattern, painted to match the existing paint
colour. +VG proposes to use fir species wood which we find is the most stable available
wood currently. Fir species is also proposed for any deck board areas requiring
replacement.
Masonry: The brick skirt surrounding the porch base has loose mortar creating openings.
Repointing of most the brick area is required, using restoration mortar blends to match
existing.
Quality Control: as part of monitoring construction work, +VG requires samples be
prepared by the Contractor to review and confirm the best conservation result.
#9 Make any intervention needed to preserve character -defining elements physically and
visually compatible with the historic place and identifiable on close inspection.
Document any intervention for future reference.
VG Architects
Page 145 of 379
+VG
Intent: Moisture has caused the wood -framed porch vents located in the brick skirt to
loosen and create openings for intrusion. New vents are proposed with black mosquito
netting and aluminum frame that will provide durability and protection of the porch
base. As part of investigation and construction, all work is photographed for records and
future reference.
3. Reference the Guidelines
• Understanding the CDE and how it contributes to the heritage value of the historic place.
• Document the CDE before site work begins.
• Assess the physical condition using methods that respect the principle of minimal
intervention.
• Provide recommendations for:
o Protecting and maintaining elements using recognized conservation methods and
cyclical maintenance,
o Retaining sound elements,
o Stabilizing fragile and deteriorated elements.
+VG has completed site investigations to provide the recommendations for preservation of the
CDE as noted above and on the drawings. Most fabric of the porch will be retained and
removed for investigation only when necessary. Repaired features will be reinstalled to existing
locations. Deteriorated elements will be stabilized using minimal interventions noted.
Recommendations for maintaining the stabilized porch include:
- Annual cleaning and review of conditions,
- Removal of plant materials completely which are trapping moisture at the corners and
sides of the porch, expediting deterioration.
- Removal of mulch and soil to below the stone sill below the brick skirt which traps moisture
on the brick.
- Temporary loose boards on the porch roof which appear to be used for feature lighting
are creating moisture traps, and should be removed.
- Rainwater leaders on the porch roof interior corners require extensions or splash blocks to
direct water away from the building.

each addition of water. Mix lime putty and sand thoroughly in mortar mill for a total of 5
more minutes once the correct water content is reached.
Page 180 of 379
Pelham Old Town Hall MASONRY MORTAR Section 04102
Renovation / Restoration RESTORATION Page 4 of 6
Project #21423
3.2.1.5 Add just sufficient water to produce a plastic mortar that will hang on the trowel.
3.2.1.6 Allow mix to sit for 15 minutes then re -mix for a further 5 minutes
3.2.1.7 Use within one (1) hour. Do not re -temper.
3.2.2 Bulking of Sand and Aggregates:
3.2.2.1 Bulking is the increase in volume of dry sand when it becomes damp.
3.2.2.2 Damp sand can occupy as much as one-third (1/3) more volume than either dry or
saturated sand.
3.2.2.3 Damp sand can be used, however, if its volume is adjusted for bulking.
3.2.3 Test and Adjustment of Sand Quantities for Bulking:
3.2.3.1 Test sand to be used in mortar for bulking at the start of the work, after each new delivery
of sand and any severe change in weather.
3.2.3.2 Obtain a sample of sand which accurately reflects the average condition of the pile of
damp sand, by the following methods:
1 Take four (4) shovelfuls of sand, each from a different level of the pile, and mix
thoroughly.
2 Place this sand in a conical pile and divide into four (4) quarters with a board.
Remove 2 opposite quarters from the pile, and combine the two (2) remaining
quarters and mix thoroughly.
.3 Repeat this quartering and mixing procedure until a sample of the size required for
testing remains.
3.2.3.3 Fill a 1 -litre capacity jar, about two thirds full with the damp sand to be tested. Drop the
sand in loosely. Do not pack it in. Level off the surface, then measure the depth of the
damp sand (D).
3.2.3.4 Empty the sand into another container, being careful not to lose any, and half fill the first
container with water.
3.2.3.5 Pour back about half of the test sample of sand slowly into the water so that it is entirely
saturated. Rod it thoroughly to remove any air.
3.2.3.6 Add the rest of the sand, rodding again to remove, and level off the surface. Measure the
depth of the saturated sand (S), which will be less than the depth of the damp sand.
3.2.3.7 Calculate the percentage bulking, using formula: [(D -S) x 100%]/S = percentage bulking;
where D = depth of damp sand, and S = depth of saturated sand.

Region of Waterloo RESTORATION Section 00010
Waterloo County Governor's MASONRY MORTAR Page 5 of 6
House - Porch Restoration
Project #22221
3.2.3.8 When batching the sand for use in mortar, increase the volume of the sand used by the
percentage bulking shown in the test. For example, if the mortar mix is a standard 1:1:6
mix requiring 6 parts of sand and the percentage bulking is found to be 20%, the volume of
sand used in the mortar should be: (6 x 12)/100 = 7.2 parts. To adjust for bulking, the actual
mortar mix will therefore be 1:1:7.2 when this same damp sand is being used.
3.2.4 Preparation of Coarse Stuff:
3.2.4.1 Prepare measuring boxes to ensure accurate proportioning of lime putty and aggregates.
3.2.4.2 Take lime putty from bins, siphon off water by screening lime through muslin to remove
excess water.
3.2.4.3 Adjust aggregate for bulking as described above.
3.2.4.4 Mix lime and sand thoroughly in paddle type mechanical mortar mixer for minimum ten
(10) minutes. Do not add water.
3.2.4.5 Lime sand coarse stuff may be stored indefinitely if protected from air by storing in plastic
air -tight bins.
3.2.5 Gauging of Coarse Stuff with Setting Aids [Hydraulic Lime, Po=olan, Cement] and
Pigments:
3.2.5.1 Rework coarse stuff to regain workability prior to gauging with setting aids as follows:
1 Remix in the mixer for ten (10) minutes and continue further beating, ramming, and
chopping by hand, ensuring thorough mixing to produce stiff workable mix. DO NOT
ADD WATER.
2 Add mortar colouring additive and ensure thorough mixing with coarse stuff.
.3 Slurry setting aid where required to prevent "balling" and add the coarse stuff. Mix
thoroughly for minimum five minutes to produce workable, plastic mix, just wet enough
to allow the mortar to hang on a trowel.
.4 When gauging a setting aid with the coarse stuff the volume of coarse stuff is always
equal to the total aggregate content, not the sum of the lime and aggregate. Thus a
mix of 1 part setting aid to 3 parts lime and 9 parts sand will be gauged used 1 part
setting aid to 9 parts of coarse stuff.
3.2.5.2 Measuring boxes are to be maintained for all mortar constituents.
3.2.5.3 Measuring container is to be maintained for the correct quantity of water for use in all
batches.
3.2.5.4 Thoroughly clean all mortar boards, measuring boxes and mixer between batches.
3.2.5.5 Use mortar within two hours and without tempering. Tempering mortar will result in colour
change where pigments are used.

GENERAL
SUMMARY
This procedure includes guidance on repairing small localized damage to
wood floorboards by cutting out a geometric piece of the board slightly
larger than the damaged area and replacing it with a piece of wood cut
and fit to match. This method of repair - called a dutchman - enables as
much of the original material to be retained as possible.
2. This procedure may also be used for making small repairs to wood trim
and may include filling holes left from heating or plumbing pipes.
3. See 01100-07-S for general project guidelines to be reviewed along with
this procedure. These guidelines cover the following sections:
Safety Precautions
2. Historic Structures Precautions
3. Submittals
4. Quality Assurance
5. Delivery, Storage and Handling
6. Project/Site Conditions
7. Sequencing and Scheduling
8. General Protection (Surface and Surrounding)
4. These guidelines should be reviewed prior to performing this procedure
and should be followed, when applicable, along with recommendations
from the Regional Historic Preservation Officer (RHPO).
2. DEFINITIONS
A wood floor surface can be either a series of connected planks or
parquet (small wood pieces arranged in decorative patterns). The wood
used is either plain sawn or quarter sawn. Plank flooring, the more
common type, is assembled by joining: butt joint, tongue and groove,
shiplap, doweled or spline. Wood floors are usually secured to the under
structure by countersinking nails, blind -nailing, or screwing and plugging.
2. PRODUCTS
MATERIALS
Wood for Dutchman (match existing material to be repaired including
species, saw/grain).
