Sightseeing
Kennedy Space Center
This house was built by captain James Prichard in 1891 and sits in what is now known as historic downtown Titusville. The Prichard’s were some of the most influential members of north Brevard county and the city of Titusville as it began to grow at the end of the 19th century. Many street names and neighborhoods are still named after some of these family members. Captain Prichard founded Titusville’s first bank and started its first electric generating plant right downtown from his home. The Pritchard House is an outstanding example of the Queen Anne architecture, a distinctly American form that was popular from approximately 1876-1910. The house appears today much as it did when it was built in 1891. The house features a conical corner tower, one of the key distinguishing aspects of this style. Other characteristics are the wrap-around porch, accented by its steep gables, veranda and second floor balcony, and fish scale wood shingles and the jig saw decorative scrollwork. The house is furnished with antique furniture and accessories. Collections of linens, glassware, housewares, paintings, vintage women's and children's clothing and accessories, vintage toys and many artifacts collected on the property are displayed.
