When you visit the North Star House, the beauty, variety, and use of natural woods contributes a warm ambience. Rock walls and pillars bring the strong character of hard rock mining into the picture. Use of natural materials, blended with the environment, is a foundation of Arts and Crafts style.
Bricks are another important design element at the North Star property. They are the hallmark of many areas, with their texture and color bringing a feel of the decades of history. The lovely, relaxing terrace and the walkways show just how important this material is on the site. 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 invite you to become an integral part of the North Star House community.
You can purchase one or more Bricks for the new walkways,
have them personally engraved with your name, honor someone,
celebrate an event, or whatever you would like to commemorate.
