Ever noticed stars on a building and thought it's just there for design? Did you know it's actually a structural component.

It's not uncommon to see stars attached to buildings in Philadelphia. The stars are a good thing and are used in architecture. They aren't meant for design but for stabilization. They come in handy for older buildings since they are more prone to damage. Since Philadelphia is one of the older cities in America, there are numerous buildings with stars on them.

The reason they are needed is that in a lot of homes, especially ones that have brick, the floors and roofs have joists that are parallel to the front and rear building facades. They can sometimes run side to side as well. Due to the design, the homes have these beams that connect to other houses' walls and these walls can bulge outward sometimes. One reason is that the front and back of buildings only connect to the edges of the house. This is very dangerous because it increases the chance of the home collapsing completely.

This is where the star bolts (also called anchor plates) come into play. They go through the brick and connect the facades to the joists. This helps keep everything more stable, reducing the chance of the building collapsing. Most of the time, anchor plates are made of steel but some of them are made of cast iron. If you go walking, you may notice other designs instead of stars
