J.
Edgar Iwanowski House James R. Walsh, 1921
Marine contractor J. Edgar Iwanowski was the original owner of this large house, which later served as headquarters for the local chapter of the American Red Cross. It is one of the few Prairie School houses built in Jacksonville in the 1920s (see 3305 Riverside
Avenue). The most distinctive features of this residence are the cross-pattern decoration of the porch railing, which is repeated in the central windows of the second story and the dormer. Dramatic Prairie-style urns flank the main entrance. A massive, tiled porch roof is suported by tapered piers with simple geometric capitals, and the length of this roof is extended to include a porte-cochere. This house is one of two excellent Prairie School residences known to be designed by James R. Walsh (see 2982 St. Johns
Avenue).
