50th annual Home Tour presented by David Gray Home Services

By Marisa Whittemore | March 21, 2024 |

This year is a milestone. The 50th anniversary of the 1974 Home Tour is a demonstration of the momentousness of this signature event. It is more than an event. The Home Tour is the manifestation of our values as an organization and our principles of preservation and rehabilitation.

This year, to celebrate our Golden Anniversary, we invite you to be a part of the event whether for the first time or the 50^th. The Riverside Avondale Preservation Tour of Homes is more than a fun way to spend a day. It is more than a walk inside a beautiful home. It is a glimpse into art, history, architecture and design through the lens of both living and non living artists. It is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. These homes are not public museums – they are private homes. The Home Tour is a small window of time in which you are given the chance to experience the beauty of our nationally-designated historic district from within private property.

One property featured this year has received a Preservation Award for rehabilitation. Another property is perhaps the leading example of prairie-style architecture in all of Florida. One property is a national landmark. One home’s foundation was formally supported by rusted car jacks.

The time and dedication homeowners put into restoring, designing, and now, showcasing their homes for the general public is a wonder. Come celebrate their hard work with us. Make sure to say Thank You and ask questions. Most importantly, salvage something for yourself to remember in 50 years when you reflect on your experience from the 2024 Riverside Avondale Preservation Home Tour.

Presented by David Gray Home Services | Saturday, April 13 from 10-4pm and Sunday, April 14 from Noon to 4pm.

How to Experience Home Tour!

As always, there is no one way to experience the Home Tour. All ticket purchasers get access to each property during the entire two days but experienced patrons know the best way to get around the neighborhood is without the car! Book a tour with Art Bikes Jax, Go Tuk’n, or ZenCog today. Each tour includes your Home Tour ticket to the full event for you to enjoy any home you might’ve missed more fully. These will sell out, so book your tour ASAP!
