Ritz Theatre & Museum (LaVilla)

The Ritz Theatre, built in 1929 in the LaVilla neighborhood, served as a major entertainment venue for Jacksonville's African American community during segregation. The brick theater was later restored and now operates as the Ritz Theatre & Museum, preserving the building's historic auditorium and exhibiting LaVilla's cultural and performing-arts history. The site illustrates the role of neighborhood theaters in early 20th-century urban architecture and community life.
