Market Square Historic District Design Guidelines
Knox County Historic Zoning Commission and Knoxville/Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission. 2013. Market Square Historic District Design Guidelines. City of Knoxville; Tennessee Historical Commission. Knoxville, Tennessee
From introduction: "The City of Knoxville recognizes the power of its historic structures to define our unique community identity and encourages their preservation so that they become viable components of the future. To this end, the City of Knoxville, through the Knoxville-Knox County Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC), works with organizations and private property owners to preserve, protect, and celebrate our historic places. While various means exist for recognizing and celebrating the importance of historic structures, protection is best accomplished at the local level. It is here that the value of preservation is defined directly by the community, which drives the direction of the design guidelines to protect their valued historic context. It is through discussion with the community that the scope and extent of these guidelines, which ultimately reflect the vision and priorities chosen by neighborhood property owners, are defined." Funding for this project was provided in part through a 2013 Historic Preservation Fund grant to the City of Knoxville (project number TN-13-022) administered by the Tennessee State Historic Preservation Office (grant number P13AF00110) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Knoxville, Tennessee is a Certified Local Government.
