Applicable Guidelines
Old North Knoxville Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on November 25, 2004.
See Guidelines- B. WINDOWS p. 15
- 1. Original windows shall be reused if possible It will be much less expensive and much better historically to retain the original windows, and it is inappropriate to replace them with new windows that differ in size, material or pane division.
- 2. If replacement windows are necessary, they shall be the same overall size as the originals, with the same pane division and the same muntin depth, width and profile. They shall be the same materials as the original windows, which were generally wood.
- 7. Storm windows can be allowed as a way to increase the energy savings of a historic house. Interior storms should be considered. Exterior storms can be appropriate, if they are designed so their meeting rail duplicates that of the original window, and if they are wood or color clad metal, matching the building's trim. Exterior storm windows shall not be used unless they do not damage or obscure the original window and frames.
