The <br />information presented here is organized along four principal <br />topic areas. Some repetition, in light of the shared elements <br />among the building styles, may be noted. <br />Construction materials are to reflect antecedents. Metal roofs, <br />brick foundations, and wood siding are to be used, wherever <br />appropriate. Other materials may be acceptable if designed to <br />maintain traditional proportions. <br />Information on the structure of the four building styles is <br />presented in seven categories, building form, exterior materials, <br />fagade treatment, fenestration, gables and vents, porch trim and <br />eaves. General descriptions are included for each category. <br />There are exceptions or variations within each category, and <br />even some architectural examples that are not included. The <br />illustrations have been selected as they highlight the most <br />common, or signature, elements of each building style.. <br />The descriptions and details presented here will assist an <br />applicant or designer to conform with the seven architectural <br />elements described above as acceptable features and <br />proportions are noted. The array of elements selected, <br />however, should occur within a particular style, with the <br />exception of shared or common elements: <br />GUIDE TO TRIM AND FINISHING <br />DETAILS <br />Sketches of five trim and finishing details, including windows, <br />doors, columns, gables and vents, presented below provide <br />simple illustrations of these building elements. (Labels for <br />individual elements and additional examples to be added.) <br />l <br />i <br />WINDOWS <br />..................................................................................................................................................................................................... ............................... . <br />T�ERNACUTAR ARCF!!lEC7TJRiL STANDARDS PAG& #3 <br />2 <br />F-5 <br />r.' <br />s <br />WINDOWS <br />..................................................................................................................................................................................................... ............................... . <br />T�ERNACUTAR ARCF!!lEC7TJRiL STANDARDS PAG& #3 <br />
