The Riverside Avondale Historic District is one of Florida's treasures. In addition to being listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Riverside-Avondale neighborhood is also designated as a Local Historic District by ordinance of the City of Jacksonville. This legislation sets up certain guidelines and procedures to protect the neighborhood from innappropriate construction and demolition. It also provides protection to individual homeowners, giving peace of mind that visually incompatible eyesores are unlikely to spring up adjacent to their homes.
