As someone who is newly involved with the Riverside Avondale Preservation Home Tour Committee, I am floored by the effort that goes into events like Home Tour, but also by the sustained work that so many people have done to keep this community thriving. Whether you’re new to the neighborhood or have attended multiple Home Tours, I implore you to see more of the architectural styles in our beautiful borough! Home Tour homeowners are graciously giving us the opportunity to witness first hand, and understand, the diverse structures we live amongst in Riverside and Avondale.

The Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods have a reputation for an abundance of iconic structures. Known for their eclectic architectural style and artistic character, Riverside and Avondale grew during the post-Great Fire boom years of 1901-1929. Avondale became the most elaborately planned development in Jacksonville including sidewalks, sewer, City water, gas, electricity, and sixteen parks. Nearly 200 unique homes were completed in the first two years of Avondale’s development and both Riverside and Avondale remain a historic gem.

Riverside Avondale Preservation (RAP), like many preservation groups, was a response to a trending dilemma, namely the demolition of large, historic residential properties once suburbs started to gain popularity. In 1974 neighbors came together to form RAP, whose main purpose is to actively preserve the unique character of this neighborhood. The functioning art that has been maintained is a testament to the love and care we have for our community.

From the very beginning RAP found it imperative to feature the community’s greatest historical gems: the homes of Riverside and Avondale, by creating the annual Tour of Homes. A signature event for RAP is now regarded as a tradition for celebrating the neighborhood’s rich architectural heritage. This year’s event features Mediterranean Revival, Bungalow, Mission Style, Tudor, and more. Even more impressive, the incredible restoration stories from properties that were decades vacant and abandoned. Look at them now!

For a limited number of guests, we transport you to a night under the stars at this year’s Twilight Party! This is a preview event in our featured home hosted by owners Lynn & Mike Israel. This Italian Revival is a beacon of architectural and design inspiration. The party, catered by Biscottis, is Thursday, April 13 at 6:30pm.

With that, we are ecstatic to continue the celebration with Riverside Avondale Preservation’s 49th annual Tour of Homes! I’m excited to see what this year holds. Make the most of the occasion and let me be the first to say, “Welcome!”
