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 are 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.
- 4. Windows shall not be replaced with fixed thermal glazing or be made inoperable.
- 6. It can be appropriate to design and install additional windows on the rear or another secondary elevation. The designs shall be compatible with the overall design of other windows in the building.
- 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.
- Entrances
- 1. It may be appropriate to design or construct a new entrance if the historic one is missing. Any restoration shall be based on historical, pictorial, and physical documentation and be compatible with the historic character of the building.
- 3. A replacement entrance must not create a false historic appearance. A new entrance shall be compatible in size, scale, materials, and color.
- 5. Service or rear entrances shall not be altered to make them appear more formal by adding paneled doors, fanlights, or sidelights.
- 6. Secondary entrances shall be compatible with the originals in size, scale, and materials.
- Wall Coverings
- 4. Repair wooden features 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.
- 5. Wood features which are important in defining the overall historic character of the building shall not be removed.
