Applicable Guidelines
Fourth and Gill Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on April 20, 1999 and June 29, 1999.
See Guidelines- PORCHES
- Properly proportioned porches are important to new buildings constructed in Fourth and Gill, helping new construction blend better with the neighborhood.
- Rehabilitation and New Construction
- 1. Repair porches on historic houses using wood floors,
- balustrades, posts and columns, or replace duplicating the
- original size and design. Reconstruction of the documented
- original porch is also appropriate.
- 4. In new construction, the proportion of the porches to the front
- facades should be consistent with the historic porches in the
- neighborhood. Details such as columns, posts, piers, balustrades
- and porch flooring must use materials that present a visually
- and physically appropriate appearance historically.
- WINDOWS
- 4. If replacement windows are necessary, they should be the same
- overall size as the originals, with the same pane division, and
- the same muntin style and exterior depth, width and profile.
- False muntins or grids should not be used.
- SECRETARY OF INTERIORS STANDARDS
- 2. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure, or site and its
- environmental shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material
- or distinctive architectural features should be avoided when possible.
- 3. All buildings, structures, and sites shall be recognized as products of their own time.
- Alterations that have no historical basis and which seek to create an earlier appearance
- shall be discouraged.
- 5. Distinctive features, finishes and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship
- that characterize a property shall be preserved.
