Let's help get the word out about the Historic Oneida Bungalow Court in Jacksonville! It is likely the last African-American bungalow court in the State of Florida. It is one of only two from this era in the City of Jacksonville, and it is the last remaining concentration of houses left in one of the oldest African-American neighborhoods in Jacksonville. It has been placed on the Florida Trust for Historic Preservation's 11 to Save list.

The Florida Trust for Historic Preservation included four sites in Northeast Florida on its "11 to Save" list for 2025.
