<div>We’re launching a campaign to protect and preserve the historic North Star House, <strong>starting with the installation of a critical fire suppression system and essential wildfire safety upgrades.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Designed in 1905 by pioneering architect Julia Morgan, North Star House is one of California’s architectural gems. Once abandoned and falling into ruin, this historic home was nearly lost forever, but our community brought it back.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past two decades, tens of thousands of volunteer hours have gone into carefully restoring the North Star House, transforming it from decay into a vibrant gathering place once again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This home is no longer just a relic of the past. It’s alive with weddings, art, classes, history tours, and community events. It stands as a testament to what our community can accomplish together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But without modern fire protection, everything we’ve rebuilt remains at risk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⚠️ The Urgency
</div>
<div>One spark could destroy this historic home forever.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We must raise $150,000 to install a state-of-the-art fire suppression system. We’ve broken the project into three phases to make every dollar count:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Phase 1: Piping the First Floor – $50,000</strong>
</div>
<div>Lays the foundation. This phase installs all piping for the first floor and allows continued restoration work upstairs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Phase 2: Piping the Rest of the House – $50,000</strong>
</div>
<div>Builds full coverage. All remaining piping throughout both floors will be installed, ensuring the house is fully prepped for protection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Phase 3: Activation and Final Installation – $50,000</strong>
</div>
<div>Brings it to life. Final sprinkler heads and water source connections will be installed—ready to protect. May also accommodate a future 4" city water main if installed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your donation directly funds:</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Fire protection that meets code
</li>
<li>Long-term preservation of the house
</li>
<li>Continued restoration of the upstairs
</li>
<li>Community access to a safe, functional space
</li>
<li>Protecting Julia Morgan’s legacy
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve come too far to lose it now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One spark could take it all, but one act of generosity can help save it. Stand with us. Give what you can. And help ensure North Star House stands strong for the next hundred years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate today. Help us preserve the past and protect the future.
</div>
