Applicable Guidelines
Fort Sanders NC-1, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on September 13, 2000.
See Guidelines- PORCHES
- 1. Provide porches with proportions and materials that complement pre-1940 housing. For clapboard type construction wood is the most appropriate primary material. Brick or cut stone are appropriate as foundations or in column supports.
- NATIONAL PARK SERVICE PRESERVATION BRIEFS 45: Preserving Historic Wood Porches
- To retain the historic character of the porch, the replacement parts should match the historic component as closely as possible in material, design, color, texture, and other qualities. To achieve this, existing evidence of the historic design, such as a baluster or column detail, or a tongue and groove floor design, should serve as a pattern for the replacement part.
- In limited cases, it may be appropriate to use a substitute material for the replacement material as long as it conveys a close visual match. Before replacing a deteriorated historic porch component, it is important to understand how it was constructed and installed, and what lead to its deterioration. If the replacement part does not sufficiently match the historic part, the character of the porch may be diminished, or even lost.
- 9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the property.
