Applicable Guidelines
Fourth and Gill Design Guidelines, adopted by the Knoxville City Council on April 20, 1999 and June 29, 1999.
    • ADDITIONS
    • 1. Locate attached exterior additions atthe rear or on an inconspicuous side of a historic building, limiting the size and scale in relationship to the historic building.
    • 3. Consider the attached exterior addition both in terms of the new use and the appearance of other buildings in the historic district. Design for the new work should be clearly differentiated from the historic building and be compatible in terms of mass, materials, size, texture, scale, solids to voids, and color.
    • 4. Place new additions, such as balconies or solar greenhouses, on non-character-defining elevations, and limit the size and scale in relationship to the historic building.
    • 5. Rather than expanding the size of the historic building by constructing a new addition, try to alter interior spaces that do not define the character of the building to accommodate the new space needs.
    • 7. New additions should not cause a lessening or loss of historic character, including the historic building's design, materials, workmanship, location, or setting.
