Five Points is a small local commerce and entertainment district in the Riverside neighborhood of Jacksonville, Florida. This area is considered one of the most concentrated commercial developments from the 1910s and 1920s of the Riverside District. Numerous individually owned bars, cafes, music venues and shops make up the commercial element in the area. Single and multiple home residences are also found in the area. Five Points is the point of convergence of Post St, Lomax St and Margaret St. Known for its eclectic residents, Five Points also has a reputation for highly artistic elements.
The Five Points Theatre, designed in the Italian Renaissance style,[1] opened in 1927.[2] It was the first theater in Florida to show talking pictures.[3][4] The building was remodeled in 1949 and renamed the Five Points Theater.
