About this project

SKAT Station is Restore Titusville's primary owned property and its most active project. It is a characterful building that tells part of Titusville's history.

Active preservation and restoration work is already underway. Significant progress has been made. The current focus is on salvaging what can be saved, preserving the building's character, and stabilizing the structure so it can safely hold a future use.

Restore Titusville received a façade grant toward the SKAT Station project and continues to pursue additional funding. What the building ultimately becomes is still being explored — the priority right now is making it sound and usable.
