Join the Opening List →Riverside and its neighbor Avondale, along the St. Johns River southwest of downtown, are where much of Jacksonville's early twentieth century housing still stands. A few blocks can take you past bungalows, Tudor cottages, Colonial Revival houses and stucco Mediterranean Revival homes.
When TotalCare Cleaning comes to Jacksonville, Riverside and Avondale will be part of the area it will service. This page covers what these older homes need.
Riverside was platted in 1868, but most of its growth came between the Great Fire of 1901 and the end of the 1920s Florida land boom. That window produced many modest bungalows alongside grander houses. Avondale followed in 1920, when an investment group led by Telfair Stockton bought land for an upscale subdivision.
The Riverside historic district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, the first in Jacksonville, and the Avondale district joined it in 1989. Riverside Avondale Preservation, the neighborhood's preservation group, describes a mix of Colonial Revival, bungalow, Mediterranean Revival, Tudor and vernacular farmhouse styles.
Every house here is old enough that its finishes deserve care. Wood floors may have been sanded and refinished several times, leaving a thin top layer that a soaking mop or steam can damage. Plaster walls mark easily under stiff brushes. Built-in cabinets, glass-front bookcases and original hardware respond to a soft cloth and a mild cleaner, not to polish or solvents.
Paint needs the most caution. Any painted surface in a home built before 1978 may hide lead under newer coats, so trim, doors and window sashes are wiped gently and never sanded, scraped or scrubbed with abrasive pads. Flaking paint is a job for a qualified painter.
Bungalow porches and deep eaves bring their own work in a North Florida spring. Oak and pine pollen starts with elm in late January and peaks by March, coating porch ceilings, swings and window sills. A damp cloth captures it; a dry duster spreads it.
Because Riverside Avondale is a National Register district, the City of Jacksonville publishes historic preservation guidelines that apply here. Indoor cleaning is not what those rules are about, but exterior work may be. Before pressure washing old brick or stucco, replacing original windows or changing porch materials, check the city's guidelines.
