County of Nevada State of California Comprehensive Annual Financial Report For the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2015 Historical North Star House Marcia L. Salter Auditor-Controller The North Star House is distinctively characteristic of the Grass Valley mining industry that once dominated the region’s economic and social development from early settlement during the Gold Rush period to the industry’s slow decline and demise in the mid-twentieth century. The 1905 design was by renowned architect Julia Morgan. Built in the early California Crafts- man style, the home is a significant example of her early work, and was one of her first major commissions as an independent architect. The construction of the North Star House, for the North Star Mine manager Arthur De Wint Foote and his family, reflected the elevated status of the mining industry as one of the chief sources of wealth and industry for the area. It stood as a continuation of grand local mine related commissions that included rival Empire Mine’s Bourne Cottage designed by Willis Polk (1895-1897). The Foote family maintained residence until 1968. In 2003, the property was purchased by the Nevada County Land Trust, who then transferred ownership to the North Star Historic Con- servancy in 2014. These two groups, with countless volunteers, have worked to rehabilitate and restore the home to its former glory. The work is ongoing, but the site is now open for public use.
