Applicable Guidelines
Old North Knoxville Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on November 25, 2004.
See Guidelines- E. Wood Wall Coverings
- 3. Replacement siding must duplicate the original. Trim and patterned shingles that must be replaced must also duplicate the original material.
- 5. Wooden features shall be repaired by patching, piecing-in, or otherwise reinforcing the wood. Repair may also include limited replacement with matching or compatible substitute materials, when elements remain and can be copied.
- 6. Wood features that are important in defining the overall historic character of the building shall not be removed.
- 7. Replace only deteriorated wood. Reconstructing in order to achieve a uniform or "improved," "new" appearance is inappropriate because of the loss of good historic materials.
- 8. An entire wooden feature that is too deteriorated to repair or is completely missing shall be replaced in kind. If features are replaced, the materials they are made from shall be compatible with the original in size, scale, and material. Replacement parts should be based on historical, pictorial, and physical documentation.
