This sheet shows the roof and foundation plans for the Knox County Court House in Knoxville, Tennessee, printed as plate 35 in a late nineteenth-century architectural volume. Foundation and roof plans let a builder see how the walls, supports, and roof framing fit together below and above the main floors, which mattered as much as the handsome façade. The drawing comes from the Palliser, Palliser & Co. firm, whose published plate books offered county and town officials standardized designs they could adapt. The record's dating and details come from an old caption card and are not fully verified, so the sheet is best read as a working document of its era.
