I told you the Librarians at the JPL are great! They found it! Wayne W. Wood. Jacksonville's Architectural Heritage: Landmarks for the Future. Revised edition 1996. (various places: University Press of Florida, 1989), pp 149 Riverside House (first known as the "Rochester House") - The article has 3 pictures of it from 1875-1976. It states that was moved between 1903-1913 up the St. Johns River to its present site and was altered. The address stated at the beginning of the article is 2107 River Blvd. I can't do it in the next few weeks, but if you want a picture of it as it stands now, I will try to see if I can find it and take a picture. Let me know. You can see a picture of it in 1875 by going to the Florida Memory Project http://www.floridamemory.com/PhotographicCollection/ Put RC03049 in the search block. This photo is the same as the first one in the above book. Hope this helps!
