Riverside-Avondale is a wonderful example of a walkable neighborhood. Sidewalks that run under a beautiful canopy of shade trees, parks and benches scattered here and there, the river and lovely old houses to drool over make for a nice walk. Not only that but the neighborhood is pretty much self contained. A hospital, grocery stores, restaurants and numerous churches are all within walking distance. This is one of our favorite areas to walk and so many churches to look at it's hard to choose just one to highlight...
Avondale United Methodist Church
The church was organized as the Avondale Methodist Episcopal Church and a lot was purchased and a small chapel built in 1927. In 1941 the Gothic style sanctuary was built by architect Leroy Sheftall. The message engraved above the sanctuary doors reads "To the Glory of God".
A lovely day of walking in a beautiful neighborhood!
