FRANKLIN HISTORIC DISTRICT DESIGN GUIDELINES 124 Fences, Walls, & Gates General Design Principles General Design Principles • Preserve and maintain the design of historic fences, walls, retaining walls, and gates. • Design fences and walls to be compatible with the architectural style of the building. For example, wood picket fencing is appropriate for vernacular frame houses while cast-iron fencing and brick columns are more appropriate for more ornate, high-style architecture. Avoid the use of horizontal board fences. • Design fences and walls to support the historic character of the district. Based on the chosen material, use proportions, heights, elements, and levels of opacity similar to those seen in the district. • Erect fences and walls in typical locations along property lines.
