Laforest - target Q1 2016 for administration to bring a report back to council on funding for the heritage reserve fund and the value of the resources in our town.
Once a report is written, Laforest will look at dates to hold a meeting with council on this topic.
6.2. Update: Banff Elementary School Development Permit Application Enns provided a verbal update (with handouts) on the proposed redevelopment of the Banff Elementary School.

Laforest, McKay and MacAulay will have a separate meeting to review the accuracy of the content of the walking brochure and make any edits that are needed prior to reprint.
HER15-25 Motion by Kennard that the Banff Heritage Corporation ask Banff Lake Louise Tourism for funding of the Heritage Walking Tour Brochure and to approve the reprint of the Heritage Walking Tour Brochures, make the necessary text edits prior to printing and to spend $3400 to have 7000 copies of the Heritage Walking Tour brochure printed. CARRIED
HER15-26 Motion by Kennard that the Banff Heritage Corporation proceed with making text changes/update the Tanglewood Button/Plaque and spend the money necessary to correct this.
CARRIED
6.5. Update: Banff Avenue Bridge Designation Laforest provided a brief update on the Banff Avenue Bridge; the bridge is owned by the province and as such, if the bridge needs repair/replacement, the province would cover the cost however, there is nothing saying that the province would replace/repair with heritage in mind or what we/town may want. If the municipality decides to designate the bridge, the province could say that the town is now responsible for the entire bridge (repair, replacement, etc). Having an asset like this, would have an implication on our limited reserve fund. The character defining elements are predominately 1986 replicas (not original elements).
MacAulay doesn’t believe that the bridge would be able to be designated by the province. It would cost a great deal of money for the town to take ownership of the bridge.
Alberta Transportation is responsible for the structure of the bridge. The Town’s Engineering Team would do the surface maintenance, etc.
Kennard asked if administration could investigate the possibilities of designating the bridge, the cost implications of fixing the character defining elements and any structural issues fixes cost. More information will be brought back to the Banff Heritage Corporation.
6.6. Update: ‘We live in a postcard’ (2004) Battrum provided a brief update on the work that was completed last year. It is now at a standstill yet there is interest in the community to have an updated version (volume 2).
MacAulay mentioned that there is also an interest in stories/lives of those who didn’t have the chance to contribute to the We Live In A Postcard book. Also, there are groups on Facebook called “Growing Up In Banff” and on the web Encyclopedia of Banff History and Encyclopadia Banff History. MacAulay to ask these groups for Laforest and all corporation members to become part of these groups.

Undertaken in conjunction with Canadian architect, Francis Conroy Sullivan of Ottawa, the Pavilion was completed in 1914, serving the town for 25 years before its premature demolishment in 1939. The purpose of this proposal is to present a case for the resurrection of the Banff Pavilion, with the hope of securing approval from both Town Council and its residents for the re- creation of this architectural treasure. Under the conditions of the federal land lease, authority to re-erect the Pavilion resides with the Town of Banff. As such, we are appealing to council, the community and other stakeholders for their support and collaboration in completing this project. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT REVIVAL INITIATIVE The Frank Lloyd Wright Revival Initiative aims to promote the legacy of this celebrated architect by rebuilding certain structures that, for various reasons, have been demolished. Over the course of Frank Lloyd Wright’s life, Frank Lloyd Wright designed and built over 500 structures, many of which have become icons of design. They include The Guggenheim Museum, Fallingwater, the Frederick C. Robie House, the Johnson Wax Building and others. Just two Wright designs were ever built in Canada; only one remains – the E. H. Pitkin Cottage in Ontario. The goal of the Frank Lloyd Wright Revival Initiative is to re-introduce certain Wright works back into their communities, thus honouring both the initial intent - as well as design - of the structures through their authentic recreation on their original sites. The Initiative lists a number of candidates to be re-built based on a building’s utility, location, structural complexity and other criteria. Most importantly, structures have been nominated based on how clearly they exemplify the work and design ethos of Frank Lloyd Wright. Funding for the construction of the re-builds will be raised in full by the Initiative. Once complete, the buildings will be donated to their respective communities who can then determine a strategic plan for their use that most benefits, and best meet the needs, of their residents. Currently there are two Wright structures under consideration for the pilot project: the Banff Pavilion and the Pilgrim Congregational Church in Redding California. Priority has been given to the Banff Pavilion being a beautiful example of Wright’s iconic Prairie School Style and the only public space built by him in Canada. Additionally, the Pavilion is relatively simple in construction and has the potential to benefit a broader community. Recognized worldwide for its natural grandeur and endorsement of the arts, the Town of Banff is also ideal for an installation by an architect of such renown. Frank Lloyd Wright Banff Pavilion Revival Initiative Proposal | 2015 2 WHO IS FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT Frank Lloyd Wright was an American architect, writer, and educator, who designed 532 completed structures. He is famous for many internationally acclaimed works, including Fallingwater, a house infamous for the waterfall, built into its design, and deemed the best all-time work of American architecture, Wright's "most beautiful job" by Time Magazine, and listed among Smithsonian's Life List of 28 places to visit before you die. He is also remembered for creating the popular Prairie School movement and developing the concept of the Usonian home, two styles which gained attention for breaking away, both from modernist and traditional design conventions. Wright’s portfolio established him as an instrumental figure in American and international architecture. Although considered by some a modernist, he gained attention for his organic architectural style which is fundamentally different in philosophy. Modern architecture was driven by function, with a building’s utility defining its importance - hence the term “form follows function”. To Wright, form and function were both equal and integrated in all aspects of his design, from the window glazing to ceiling patterns, furniture and even table settings. Today, Frank Lloyd Wright’s work continues to inform and inspire as part of architectural curricula that examine the critical and influential impact he had on modern residential and organic design. Currently, 10 Wright structures are being considered for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), World Heritage List.1 HISTORY OF THE BANFF PAVILION Frank Lloyd Wright and Francis Conroy Sullivan, Wright’s only Canadian student, designed the Banff National Park Pavilion in 1911. Commissioned by the Department of Public Works for the National Parks Service of Canada, the original design was put forth by the community of Banff with Sullivan and Wright later hired to develop a more refined concept. Construction of the Pavilion began in 1913 and was finished the following year. Originally intended as a gathering area for visitors and community functions, completion of the Pavilion at the start of WWI saw it become a temporary quartermaster's store for the Department of Defence. After the war, the Pavilion assumed its intended role as a picnic area and shelter for park goers, drawing large summer crowds from Calgary and Southern Alberta. Built on the banks of the Bow River, the Pavilion was subject to flooding and frost heaving, leading to the decay of the wooden floor supports. In 1939, the structure was demolished. Although initially meeting with some resistance, the Pavilion became very popular and its demolition met with protest from residents, who’d appreciated, and grown accustomed to the business it had generated. 1 U.S. Department of State. Media Note. 2015. http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2015/01/237009.htm Frank Lloyd Wright Banff Pavilion Revival Initiative Proposal | 2015 3 WHY REVIVE THE PAVILION The Banff Pavilion epitomizes Wright’s renowned Prairie School Style marked by horizontal lines reminiscent of native prairie landscapes. This genre, which has defined the architect, has made its way into design-doctrine as a movement that shifted modernism towards organic architecture, a philosophy of design that harmonizes both the “built” and natural environment and creates an equality between form and function. Numerous samples of this characteristic style can be seen across the United States. However, the Pavilion was the only Prairie School Style structure in Canada. Reviving the Pavilion lends an opportunity to rebuild a work by one of the most recognizable architects in modern history whose influence in the field is still tangible today and whose work continues to be studied and admired. The Pavilion, having never been replicated, lends Banff an opportunity to reclaim this historic treasure and capitalize on the fame and reputation of an architectural legend. IMPORTANCE OF THE PAVILION TO BANFF Supporting arts and culture: Home to the Whyte Museum as well as the Banff Centre (a globally recognized institution for the creative arts) and proprietors of the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival, the town of Banff is admired for more than its breathtaking landscape. Rebuilding a structure designed by one of the most famous architects of the 20th century, would augment the town’s reputation as an arts and cultural epicenter. Adding an attraction: Banff is a tourist town, renowned for its natural beauty, and dependent on the flow of national and international visitors throughout the year to sustain its economy. The Pavilion would become another point of interest for the town, becoming a strong draw for new visitors, particularly art and architecture enthusiasts, and appealing to current Banff devotees who appreciate the town for its historic charm. It would also make Banff the only destination in Canada with a Frank Lloyd Wright attraction. Reclaiming history: Banff’s Registry of Recognized Heritage Resources is indicative of the town’s commitment to preserve and protect landmarks of historical significance. Protected by this program are numerous properties that were built in the same era as the Pavilion. It is fair to say, having the advantage of such a registry during its existence, the Pavilion might still be standing today, adding to the historical record of architecture in Banff. CONSIDERATIONS Community Value: Frank Lloyd Wright is one of the most distinguished architects of recent history. Given his esteem, Wright’s work draws considerable public attention. As such, there is potential for the Pavilion to generate revenues to offset operational costs and even generate revenues for the proprietor. According to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, Frank Lloyd Wright Banff Pavilion Revival Initiative Proposal | 2015 4 annual visitors to Fallingwater brought in $5.6 million in revenue in 2013.2 The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation reported $2.9 million in revenues from public tours and facility access in 2014.3 Building Care: All Wright revival projects will be funded by the Initiative. However, they are collaborative projects and their ultimate success relies on municipalities not only embracing the revivals, but also making strategic decisions regarding uses that best serve their communities. Land Use: The original Banff Pavilion was situated in the recreational grounds south of the Bow River. Given the Pavilion is built in Wright’s Prairie School Style, location is very important, as he would have considered the natural environment as part of the building’s design. Building the Pavilion in its original location would be ideal but alternative sites could be entertained if necessary. Flood Mitigation: The original Pavilion was demolished due to neglect and structural damage caused by flooding. The area on which it stood, and could stand again, was originally a marshy area subject to flooding. Very heavy rains in 2013 flooded the site again, indicating that water control and changes in construction may be required to address these challenges. SUMMARY Frank Lloyd Wright is inarguably one of the most famous architects of modern times. His works are iconic and his design ethos continues to inspire art and architectural enthusiasts alike. The Frank Lloyd Wright Revival Initiative is seeking to preserve and promote the legacy of the famed architect through the recreation of selected structures that, for various reasons, have been demolished. The Pavilion is a beautiful example of Wright’s iconic Prairie School Style. It is for this reason and others that it has been selected as the pilot project for the Initiative. Banff, being an international tourist attraction and hub for the arts and culture, is an ideal location for the rebuild. There is reciprocity in value however. Given the immense attention Frank Lloyd Wright’s work draws, the Town stands to benefit from the traffic the Pavilion elicits. Additionally, a strategic building-use plan could see the Pavilion generating direct income that matches or even exceeds maintenance expenditures. It is the Initiative’s hope that the Town recognizes the value of this project and grants opportunity for further discussion. 2 Western Pennsylvania Conservancy.

FINAL REPORT Rehabilitation of the Bow River Bridge Banff Townsite Banff National Park Project No. 668794 Contract No. C62-6-2060 1. Introduction This report summarizes inspections, studies and repairs of the Bow River Bridge in Banff, starting in 1970 and 1971, and continuing in 1981 to the present. Public Works Canada checked the deck in 1970, and Lamb McManus Associates Ltd. was retained by Parks Canada to inspect substructure problems in 1971. Remedial work completed in 1972 successfully reinforced the piers, but was too limited in scope to repair the deck permanently. New expansion joints were installed, but were ripped out by snow plows, and rip rap protection for the piers placed by Parks Canada reduced the open channel and caused sandbars to build up. Late in 1981 Lamb McManus Assoc. Ltd. was retained by Parks Canada to make a complete study of the structure and to recommend a method of rehabilitation. The report was submitted in 1982. In 1986 a complete rehabilitation design was made, and contract drawings prepared, generally in accordance with the 1982 study and report. The contract was awarded to Cana Management Ltd. in December 1986 and work began in January 1987. The whole of the old concrete deck and sidewalks were replaced. The architectural concrete fascia and the pebble masonry parapet walls were removed and replaced. The steel girders were sandblasted and painted, bearings jacked and freed and the piers were strengthened. The rip rap was removed, the channel cleared, and new rip rap was buried around the piers to guard against possible erosion by eddies at flood stage. - 1 - Lamb McManus Associates Ltd. The work was completed in September 1988, except for some remedial work around the piers at low water level after freeze up. All the work from 1986 onwards was managed by Public Works Canada for Parks Canada. Recommendations are submitted for annual inspection and maintenance, together with advice about the accessibility of all parts of the bridge. Appendix A is a summary of Materials Specifications, and Appendix B is a photographic record. -2- Lamb McManus Associates Ltd. 2. History and Description The .original design drawings made in 1919 are complete, and they were made available for all studies and for the design of the rehabilitation There are four main spans of 88'-6 (26.975 m) and two end spans of 31'-6(9.25 m). The main spans consist of five riveted plate girders at 9'(2.74 m) on centres and simply supported. Outriggers at approximately 12' {3.66 m) carried the sidewalk cantilevered each side. The end spans were of concrete slab and T-beam construction and simply supported. The curbs were over the fascia girders, leaving three lanes of 12' (3.66 m). The sidewalks were 9' (2.74 m) wide, and the parapets were l' {0.305 m) thick. Between the outriggers concrete and pebble masonry panels were built on to the fascia girders. There were expansion joints at all five piers and at the abutments. The piers and abutments were built of plain concrete in Rundle stone masonry shells. The bridge was built in 1921-22. Almost no record 1s available of the construction, nor of the use and maintenance until 1970. The only information is that the piers were split by thermal forces quite soon after construction, because the expansion bearings were not functioning. - 3- • 20 21 22 23 24 25 40 45 Item: 4.3 Our Products ..

SCHEDULE "B" TO BYLAW 200 This is Schedule "B" to Bylaw No. 200 and identifies the "General Guidelines for Rehabilitation" for Harmony Lane located at 111 Banff A venue. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR REHABILITATION 1. Approval ofRehabilitation Work As per section 22 (6) of the Alberta Historical Resources Act, notwithstanding any other Act, no person shall destroy, disturb, alter, restore or repair an historic resource or remove any historic object from an historic resource that has been designated under this section, without the written approval of the Council or person appointed by the Council of the pwpose. The Manager of the Planning and Development has been appointed by Town Council as the approving authority for this pwpose. 2. Compatible Uses Wherever possible, the uses proposed for a Municipal Historic Resource shall be compatible with the existing building such that only minimal changes are required to the building. The use ofa Municipal Historic Resource for its original purpose is desirable. 3. Original Character The original distinctive qualities and character ofthe building as designated by the Municipal Historic Resource bylaw should be preserved. The removal or alteration of any historical materials or features shall be avoided whenever possible. 4. The Historic Period The Municipal Historic Resource should be recognized as a product of its own time. Alterations which are not based on historical fact or which recreate an earlier or later idiom shall be discouraged. 5. Witness to Change Changes to the Municipal Historic Resource may have occurred over time. These alterations are evidence of the history and development of the building. Because this evolution may have acquired significance in its own right, alterations to the original building should be recognized and respected where indicated. .. 6. Repair and Replacement Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced wherever possible. Where replacement is necessary, the new material should match the original as to composition, colour, texture, design, etc. The repair or replacement of architectural features shall be based on a sound knowledge ofthe original characteristics of the feature. Such knowledge shall be based on historical or pictorial evidence and not upon conjecture. 7. Style and Craftsmanship Distinctive stylistic features and examples of skilled craftsmanship, which have been designated by the Municipal Historic Resource Bylaw shall be preserved and treated sensitively. 8. Cleaning In all cases, surface cleaning shall be undertaken with the gentlest means available. Sandblasting in particular, but also other cleaning methods, damage historic buildings and should not be undertaken without thorough testing prior to use on a building. Sandblasting is not recommended on brick, stone or wood. In all instances, it should be ascertained that a building exterior is really in need ofcleaning prior to undertaking the work. 9. Reversibility and bnprovements When the introduction ofnew elements or materials is necessary to stabilize or preserve a municipally designated historic resource, alterations shall be undertaken such that the new materials, should they fail, may be removed at a later date without damage to the original fabric of the Municipal Historic Resource. Where this is not possible, (i.e., use of epoxy) only those methods and materials, which have been thoroughly tested and found satisfactory in situ, shall be used. 10. Recording Prior to undertaking any alterations, particularly in cases where alterations may threaten the building fabric (underpinning, moving structures), the applicant shall compile a complete record of the architectural features of the Municipal Historic Resource. Measured drawings and photographs of details may prove invaluable ifmajor features are damaged or lost during the subsequent repair work. 11. Original Construction Details In some historic structures, poor construction details or inappropriate material resulted in rapid deterioration of certain building elements. In these instances, accurate restoration of the original detail will inevitably result in the failure of the element. Therefore, restoration ofthe resource should , ( be undertaken in such a fashion as to duplicate the original appearance as closely as possible while using details based on sound construction practice. 12. Enforcement The owner and the Town shall enter into an agreement to ensure that the designated structure will be maintained in such a manner as to prevent any deterioration. 13. Improvements Prior to undertaking any improvements, a schedule of alterations should be prepared. This schedule should include phasing of alterations where necessary due to program or budget restrictions. The type and timing of both short and long term maintena..11ce work shall also be included. 14. Codes At no time should the life and safety of occupants of a Municipal Historic Resource be deemed of lesser importance than the preservation ofthe original fabric ofthe Municipal Historic Resource. The required life and safety standards are those required by the current Alberta Building Code. However, notwithstanding these Code requirements, where the essential character ofthe structure is threatened by changes for code reasons, every effort shall be made to achieve an equivalent safety standard by alternate means so as to minimize the impact on the historic fabric. 15. Sigm As a general rule signs should be limited to signs that were originally present on the building. In instances where new use or interpretive functions dictate the use of additional signs, these new elements should be integrated into the general design ofthe project. The size, typeface, graphics and materials should be chosen to suit the period of the Municipal Historic Resource wherever possible. All signs must conform to the BanffLand Use Bylaw.
