The historic Pritchard House is closed for repairs until further notice.
The Pritchard House was struck by lightning August 14th, 2019 at approximately 4:30pm that sounded like an explosion and witnessed by several people, including the fire department across the street who responded immediately.Lightning struck the west side chimney blasting off the copper chimney cap and several bricks, scattering them over the yard. Inside, the chimney flues in the kitchen and maid's room (which are located on the same chimney) were blown off scattering mortar and concrete dust. Electrical wiring was damaged and flash burns were on all of the wall outlets in the child's room (which is the middle bedroom located on the southside) and on the exterior wall adjacent to that room, causing the loss of electrical power.
We were very lucky that the house did not catch on fire. City Risk Mgmt. Cindy Garst has done an excellent job of responding to the necessary work to assure that the Pritchard House is secured & Air Conditioned by external hookup to protect antique and delicate furnishings. NBHF Staff worked for 3 days packing vintage clothing, linens, toys, books, record files and delicate accessories and moved to A/C storage provided by the City.
We appreciate the excellent support from the City to coordinate and work with North Brevard Heritage Foundation to ensure the work to be performed will be by qualified historic preservation contractors. The historic Pritchard House will be closed until further notice. Thank you for your continued support and we'll see you soon. The NBHF Staff.
