ROOFS

The roofs in Old North Knoxville are now nearly all modern asphalt shingles. There were a variety of original roofing materials, such as standing seam metal or metal shingles, wood or slate shingles, large patterned asphalt or asbestos shingles, or shaped roof tiles of terra cotta or concrete. The historic roof colors would have been darker shades of brown, gray, red, green or black. . . . When building new structures, roof materials should be carefully chosen to suggest the colors, patterns and materials that would have been found in the neighborhood originally.

4.) Materials used in roofing existing buildings or new construction shall duplicate the roofing materials originally found in the neighborhood. Asphalt or fiberglass shingles can be appropriate, as are wood, slate, standing seam metal, or metal shingle or tile roof coverings. The color of roofing materials should be a dark green, charcoal gray, black or dark reddish brown to simulate the original roof colors.
