Why should I be concerned about preserving the architectural details of my property?

The history of Titusville dates back to the 19th century and you can trace back and appreciate the City’s development through its architectural styles and building details. Sadly much of the original design and the overall character of the buildings have been destroyed or irretrievably altered so that present and future generations can no longer appreciate the beauty and richness of Titusville’s past.

By conserving the fine craftsmanship on one of a few remaining structures of a certain style, you are preserving an important part of the City’s heritage and contributing to the long-term aesthetic and economic value of the City, as well as to that of your own property.
