Leon Cheek House I Henry A. Taylor, c. 1914
This well proportioned brick house with a green tile roof is another of Henry Taylor’s Prairie School efforts. The full-width porch and second-story beltcourse below the windows add to its horizontal emphasis.This residence was built for Leon Cheek, head of the Cheek-Neal Coffee Company, which later became the Maxwell House Coffee Company. In 1928, Cheek constructed a new riverfront house one block away at 2263 River Boulevard. This Jacobethan Revival castle is one of Jacksonville's most most extravagant homes.
