Applicable Guidelines
Old North Knoxville Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on November 25, 2004.
See Guidelines- A. Roofs

- F. Masonry Wall Coverings
- 3. Evaluate the overall condition of the masonry to determine whether more than protection and maintenance are required.
- 4. Identify and preserve masonry features that define the historic character of the building, including walls, railings, foundations, chimneys, columns and piers, cornice and door and window pediments.
- 5. Replace an entire masonry feature that is too deteriorated to repair. Use the remaining physical evidence to guide the new work, and match new to old. Examples can include large sections of a wall, a cornice, balustrade, columns, stairways or chimneys.
- 7. Match replacement mortar to the original mortar in color, composition, profile and depth. If necessary, analyze the original mortar to determine the proportions of lime, sand and cement. A "scrub" technique shall not be used to repoint. The width or joint profile shall not be changed unless the change will return the joint to its original appearance. Sound mortar should not be removed.
