Applicable Guidelines

Fourth and Gill Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on April 20, 1999 and June 29, 1999.

- Outbuildings
- Auxiliary or outbuildings were often used in the Fourth and Gill neighborhood, although many of them have deteriorated or been destroyed over the years. 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. Newer houses in the district might have had garages, with the same roof shapes and wall coverings, or with wall coverings that matched the primary building on the lot. It is acceptable to construct new outbuildings to the rear of lots on Fourth and Gill, with designs that respect the original designs.
- 1. Buildings resembling servants' quarters or carriage houses, work buildings, or simple one-story garages are appropriate to be constructed in Fourth and Gill. Their size and construction should use materials that correspond to the original primary buildings on the lot.
