The Avondale Park Historic District in Birmingham, Alabama is a 200 acres (81 ha) historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1] It includes work dating to 1886 and work by Burnhum & Greer. It includes Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, and Tudor Revival architecture. The listing included 425 contributing buildings, one contributing site, and two contributing structures.[2]

At least four of the contributing buildings are houses of worship including Avondale United Methodist Church,[3] the Birmingham Baha'i Center, the Birmingham Friends Meeting,[4] and Redeemer Community Church.[5] The Baha'i center and the Friends meetinghouse were originally houses. Redeemer's domed building was built for South Avondale Baptist Church.[6]
