Applicable Guidelines
Edgewood-Park City Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on July 29, 1997.
See Guidelines- Windows
- Windows are a very important architectural element in the historic district's buildings, helping to define each building's character. They are usually wooden and hung so that both the bottom and the top sash can open (double-hung).
- 1. Reuse original windows. It will be much less expensive and much better historically to retain the original windows.
- 3. If replacement windows are necessary, they must be the same overall size as the originals, with the same pane division, and the same muntin style and exterior depth, width, and profile. Thermal sash windows that use false muntins are not acceptable.
- 7. Historic windows shall not be blocked in.
- Porches
- 1. Porches on historic houses shall be repaired or replicated using wood materials for ceilings and floors, balustrades, posts and columns that duplicate the original size and design. Reconstruction of the documented original porch is appropriate.
- 2. Porches, particularly porches visible from a street, shall not be enclosed.
- 3. New buildings constructed in Edgewood-Park City must contain front porches large enough to provide seating. The proportion of the porches to the front facades is to be consistent with the historic porches in the neighborhood. Details such as columns, posts, piers, balustrades, and porch flooring and ceiling will be built with materials that are consistent in appearance with historic materials.
