Titusville -- 1829 Riverside Dr (@ U.S. Hwy. 1)

 

Opened in the winter of 1963, Titusville was built immediately on Indian River with a view of Cape Canaveral's launch sites. They were exciting times, for we were in the midst of racing the Soviets to meet President Kennedy's call to put a man on the moon before the end of the 1960s. Howard Johnson's was there, having aligned its image with all that was new and modern--the future was then!

The Space Race
We had vision and a mission--it was all about the future. That future was reflected in the architecture and operation of Howard Johnson's. Neat, precise and controlled quality, chaos was kept at bay--HJ had its way and purpose that managed to keep in lock step with popular sentiment throughout the 1960s.
