Accessory structure- The proposed 21 x 27 x 18'-4" h auxiliary building is a concrete slab on grade structure with a 2-ft-high brick-bearing foundation wall. The building will be located based on an existing foundation from a previous (removed prior to our ownership) auxiliary building on the property that will follow a 5 -ft foundation (rev 3-14-19) set-back from the alley running parallel to Gratz and Luttrell streets on the East side of the proposed building. It will be set back 6 .5 feet from the adjacent property to the south. The structure will be of post and beam construction with 1" x 8"x 8' wood board & 1 .5" batten siding, or 5/16 "X 4' x 8' fiber cement board vertical panels with 1 .5 " wood battens. The gable roof will have a 9/12 pitch with 1'-6" overhangs and will be sheathed in asphalt roof shingles (Owens Corning Duration "Sedona Canyon") and guttering that matches the main house. The reclaimed brick chimney will be 3' x1'-8" x 6'-6"h. The proposed structure's masonry features will be built using a running bond brick pattern utilizing reclaimed historic brick left on the property by the previous owner. The east wall will incorporate three casement windows @ 50" x 18", and the attic gable ends will each be lit with an 18"x37" casement window. Two sliding-track wooden garage doors @ 6.5' x 9' on the West elevation, and 1 @ 9' x 9' on the North elevation will be installed, all constructed with 1" x 8" pine boards with 1" x 4" trim (Door description revised on 3/19/2019). The building will be finished with 4" corner boards and an 6"or 8" frieze board across the gabled ends. A non-contributing outbuilding will be removed to allow room for the new structure.

Applicable Guidelines
Fourth and Gill Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on April 20, 1999 and June 29, 1999.
See Guidelines- OUTBUILDINGS
- 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.
- Recommendations:
- 1. Buildings resembling servants' quarters or carriage houses, work buildings, or simple one-story garages are appropriate to be constructed in the Fourth and Gill Historic District. Their size and construction should use materials that correspond to the original primary buildings on the lot.
