Applicable Guidelines

Village of Concord Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knox County Commission on October 22, 2001.

- Roofs
- 1. Replacement roofs shall copy the shape and pitch of original roofs, and the soffit, fascia, and trim detail between roof and wall should mimic the original.
- 3. Materials used in roofing existing buildings or new construction shall duplicate the original roofing materials as much as possible.
- Porches
- 1. Porches on historic houses shall be repaired or replicated in size and design using wood materials for ceilings and floors, balustrades, posts and columns so that they duplicate the original size and design. Reconstruction of the documented original porch is appropriate.
- Exterior Wall Coverings: Wood
- 1. Wood siding and shingles or other features original to the building shall be repaired rather than replaced, and only modified at all if they are deteriorated.
- 5. The application of synthetic or substitute materials such as vinyl or aluminum over original wood siding is not appropriate.
- 10. Repair wood fen features by patching, piecing-in, or otherwise reinforcing the wood. Repair may also include limited replacement with matching or compatible substitute materials, when elements remain and can be copied.
- 11. Wood features that are important in defining the overall historic character of the building should not be removed.
- 12. Replace only deteriorated wood. Reconstruction in order to achieve a uniform or 'improved' appearance is inappropriate because of the loss of good historic materials.
- 13. An entire wooden feature that is too deteriorated to repair or is completely missing shall be replaced in kind. If features are replaced, the materials they are made from should be compatible with the original in size and scale. Replacement parts should be based on historical, pictorial, and physical documentation.
