C. Porches, p. 8
Porches were universal in Fort Sanders. They are essential in providing architectural harmony along the street. They also served as a place to enjoy pleasant weather and to socialize. They continue to define the neighborhood and provide security, offering a built-in neighborhood-watch program.
1. Provide porches with proportions and materials that complement pre-1940 housing. For houses with clapboard-type construction, wood is the most appropriate primary material.
