Creating Community - Brick by Brick

Purchase an engraved brick to support North Star House.

Visitors to North Star House immediately see how Morgan’s use of natural materials, such as rock and wood, blends with the environment to create a prime example of the Arts & Crafts style.

Bricks are another important design element. They are the hallmark of many areas surrounding the House, with their texture and color bringing a feel of the decades of history. Still, while the bricks are an essential part of the setting, many of these bricks are in disrepair or exist only in old photographs.

Restoring the landscaping around the house is an integral part of the plan for upgrading the North Star property to maximize its use for a wide variety of community activities. Not only can you help fund the restoration, but your brick purchase will help to restore the historic entry with your personal engraved brick. It will be in a spot where you can easily see your brick when you visit!

We have two sizes of bricks:

                                          4” X 8” Brick − $300 donation

                                          8” X 8” Brick − $1,000 donation

Engrave your own name, honor a family member or friend, or celebrate an event! 3 lines of text for your 4” X 8” Brick.  6 lines of text for your 8” X 8” Brick.

You also have an option to purchase a replica of your engraved Brick to keep at home.

We invite you to become part of North Star House’s history by purchasing one or more bricks, have them personally engraved with your name, celebrate an event or person, or achievement.

Over a hundred years ago, a newly licensed architect, Julia Morgan of Hearst Castle fame, designed North Star House, an 11,000 square foot Arts & Crafts ‘Miner’s House’ in Grass Valley. North Star House is now opening a new chapter as a community gathering center that is both historic and inviting while offering activities that will delight all age groups.

We need your support! We are committed to completing the restoration and growing programs that will benefit our community.
