8. Titusville Commercial District
Built: c. 1895 ‚ 1926Location: S. Washington Avenue, Main Street
This Titusville Commercial District was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The District includes 24 historical resources on South Washington Avenue and Main Street in "old downtown" Titusville.
The buildings date from circa 1895 through the collapse of the Florida Land Boom in 1926. They embody a variety of significant architectural styles including Beaux Arts and Mission, but the predominant designs are simple masonry or frame vernacular.
In 1989, Titusville was selected as a Florida Main Street City. Participation in this highly successful self-help program, administered by the Bureau of Historic Preservation, is bringing about the historic preservation and economic revitalization of its "old downtown."
