 Avondale Details: Avondale Estates is the only documented example in the southeastern United States of an early twentieth century planned new town. The Avondale Estates Historic District was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in December of 1986 and is considered to be of national importance. This level of significance is attributed to the planning efforts behind the development of Avondale Estates as well as to the architectural and landscape components present in the district. Acknowledging that the “historical, cultural, and aesthetic heritage of the city is among its most valued and important assets,” the city initiated measures to preserve and protect these characteristics of Avondale Estates. These efforts provide a basis in which to enhance the community’s visual appearance, promote harmonious growth and ensure that the old will blend compatibly with the new, strengthen community awareness of the values of historic preservation and capture the benefits of tourism and economic development. In July 1986, the Board of Mayor and Commissioners adopted the Historic Preservation Ordinance which created the Historic Preservation Commission. The Commission is a volunteer board of residents of the City of Avondale Estates with professions or special interests in architecture, history, planning, landscape architecture or other historic preservation-related disciplines. The Commission meets on the first Monday of every month to review applications for Certificates of Appropriateness from property owners within the Historic District. Members are appointed by the Board of Mayor and Commissioners and each serve three-year terms.
