Applicable Guidelines
Fourth and Gill Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on April 20, 1999 and June 29, 1999.
See Guidelines- OUTBUILDINGS
- Typical outbuildings would have included carriage houses or servants' quarters, often taller than one story and built with steeply pitched gable roofs, or combined gable and shed roofs, with weatherboard or board and batten wall covering. Smaller work sheds were also common in Fourth and Gill.
- Recommendations:
- 1. Buildings resembling servants' quarters or carriage houses, work buildings, or simple one story garages are appropriate to be constructed in the Fourth and Gill Historic District. Their size and construction should use materials that correspond to the original primary buildings on the lot.
