Applicable Guidelines
Fourth and Gill Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on April 20, 1999 and June 29, 1999.
See Guidelines- NEW ADDITIONS
- 3. Consider the attached exterior addition both in terms of the new
- use and the appearance of other buildings in the Historic district.
- Design for the new work may be contemporary or may reference
- design motifs from the historic buildings. In either case, it should
- always be clearly differentiated from the historic building and
- be compatible in terms of mass, materials, size, texture, scale,
- relationship of solids to voids, and color.
- 7. New work should not appear to be as old as the historic
- building. Do not duplicate the exact form, material, style,
- and detailing of the historic building in the new addition.
- 8. New additions should not cause a lessening or loss of
- historic character, including the historic building's
- design, materials, workmanship, location, or setting.
- ENTRANCES
- 4. Secondary entrances should be compatible with the originals in
- size, scale or materials but should not give the appearance of a
- primary entrance.
- SIDING
- 3. New construction should use wood materials rather that
- aluminum or vinyl siding. New buildings should also use
- corner and trim boards and appropriate door and window
- trim.
