Thomas V. Porter House, Neoclassical residence in Jacksonville, Florida.

The Thomas V. Porter House is a neoclassical residence in Jacksonville featuring six Corinthian columns supporting a two-story portico. The building displays a coffered ceiling and curved balcony on its upper levels.

The house was built in 1902 following Jacksonville's devastating fire of 1901, symbolizing the city's recovery and expansion. Decades later, in 1976, it received designation as a historic structure.

The house was bought in 1925 by the First Christian Church, which moved it around the corner to its present site and used it for offices and Sunday school classes. The church also added a two-story section at the rear for more office space.

The house stands at 510 Julia Street, moved around the corner from its original Church Street corner by First Christian Church after its 1925 purchase. The church removed the one-story veranda on three sides and added a two-story rear section for offices and Sunday school rooms.

The house originally faced Church Street at the corner of Julia, across from Senator James P. Taliaferro's home, with Mayor Duncan U. Fletcher's mansion on the opposite corner. In 1925 the First Christian Church moved it around the corner to 510 Julia Street, where it stands today.
