Addendum

| HERITAGE VALUE: |
| The heritage value of the Peter-Aylen-Fils house is based |
| on its association with two of the most important families |
| in Aylmer, the Aylen and Symmes families. The house was |
| built in the early 1850s for Peter Aylen (1826-1876). Aylen |
| is a lawyer and practiced law for 25 years in the house he |
| built for his marriage to Elizabeth Symmes (1829-1909). He |
| was the son of Peter Aylen (1799-1868), a prominent Ottawa |
| Valley lumber merchant known as the "King of the Shinners." |
| Elizabeth is the second daughter of Charles Symmes |
| (1798-1868), who is considered the founder of Aylmer. |
| Charles Symmes arrived in Outaouais in 1819 to work as an |
| accountant for his uncle Philemon Wright (1760-1839). The |
| Peter-Aylen-Fils house evokes the memory of these families |
| who played an important role in the socio-economic history |
| of the canton of Hull. |
| The heritage value of the Peter-Aylen-Fils house also rests |
| on its architectural interest. This village residence is a |
| fine example of Georgian-inspired vernacular architecture. |
| Of British origin, the Georgian style appeared in the |
| Outaouais region at the turn of the 19th century, thanks to |
| British and American immigration. The Georgian is |
| distinguished by the monumentality and rigor of its |
| composition. The vernacular version retains only the |
| essential features, which are combined with local |
| traditions. The Peter-Aylen-Fils house illustrates this |
| architectural trend with its simple and massive volume, the |
| symmetrical composition and regular order of its openings, |
| and its arched main entrance. |
| CHARACTERISTIC ELEMENTS |
| The characteristic elements of the Peter-Aylen-Fils house |
| linked to its historical and architectural values include: |
| - its location near the lot line; |
| - its location on a small corner lot. |
| - its volume, including the rectangular plan, the two-story |
| elevation, the gable roof with returned eaves, the symmetry |
| of the composition; |
| - the openings, including the arched main entrance and the |
| wooden sash windows with small panes; |
| - the sobriety of the ornamentation; |
| - the wood frame structure; |
| - the brick chimney attached to the right side facade; |
| - the ground is not very clear; |
| - the one-story rear annex with a gable roof. |
