Originally constructed in 1934 by Mr. H. B. Skillin as the Skillen/Snyder funeral home, this two-story property is rich in local history and architectural charm. Designed in a Provincial style with Tudor influences, the building features steeply pitched shingled roofs intersected by gables and hips, accented by rows of multi-paned shed dormer windows. The exterior is highlighted by large multi-paned windows set against a stucco facade, an inviting inset-arch entrance to the chapel, and an open porch supported by wooden columns. Heavy wooden doors welcome you into the chapel, echoing the craftsmanship of its era. In addition to the chapel and funeral space, the property includes two upstairs apartments, offering versatile living or income opportunities. Situated on a prominent corner lot of over one-third acre in Santa Paula's Historic District, this property presents historical significance and future potential. Other possible uses may include daycare centers, group homes, supportive or transitional housing, bed and breakfast establishments, churches, artist studios, or private schools. These alternative uses may require development permits or conditional use permits through the City Planning Department or Planning Commission.
