Riverside Baptist Church, 2650 Park Street, Jacksonville, Duval County, FL
Summary
Significance: An outstanding example of 1920's Florida Boom Architecture (eclecticism) and the only church ever designed by Addison Mizner, popular Palm Beach architect. The octagonal structure in the Spanish Romanesque revival style is unique in northern Florida. Featuring hand-crafted interior details, singular natural lighting, and sixteenth-century floor tiles imported from Spain, it was considered by contemporaries to have been Mizner's masterpiece. (This building is on the National Register.)
