Star house

Beginning in 1960, a private residence directly north of Euclid Avenue in San Antonio Heights displayed an enormous five-point star of lights each holiday season. Traditionally the 35-foot star was lit each night between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day and was visible for miles throughout the Pomona Valley.

The star and the two-story home to which it was attached were destroyed October 25, 2003 in the [http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/sanbernardino/fire/oldfire.shtml Grand Prix Fire] that swept through the area. More than $20,000 was raised to assist the property owner in rebuilding the star, so a temporary replacement measuring 65 feet tall was erected with a crane during the 2003, 2004 and 2005 holiday seasons. The star was not lit in 2006 after the copper wiring used to illuminate it was stolen from the site.

Ken Petschow, a commercial airline pilot who owns the property, lit the star again in 2007.
