A full front porch is most common in these buildings. Detailing on the house may be from any of the styles common in the early twentieth century. Sidelights and transoms are often used on an American Four Square, and these may be of leaded, stained or beveled glass. Double hung windows are used, and they may have a patterned upper sash or may be in a one over one configuration. Tudor Revival was a common revival style in the Knoxville area.
Walls are primarily clad in stone, stucco, or brick.
Stone patterns are often square cut ashlar or roughly squared and dressed, and are often laid in either a random or broken range course. The stucco may be trowelled into a smooth, or a more distinctive pattern. Other exterior wall surface materials include weatherboard, wood shingles and applied half timbering. Half timbering uses horizontal, vertical, or curvilinear wood members with either brick or stucco infill, to emulate the construction techniques of 16th Century England. Tudor Revival houses commonly feature steeply pitched roofs, often with side gables or multiple gables.
