The Star is a historic commercial building at 5 Creek Street in Ketchikan, Alaska, United States.

It is the only one of a once-numerous collection of brothels that famously lined Creek Street to retain its historical integrity,[clarification needed] and was one of the largest in the city.

Winding into the hills above Creek Street is Married Man's Way, a trail used by patrons of the brothels to escape raids.

The Star was built as a modest gable-roofed structure in 1903,[4] not long after the ordinance was passed, and was enlarged in 1910 and again in 1917 to achieve its present size, probably whilst owned by Mattie Wilkes.

One of her prostitutes from Petersburg, Dolly Arthur, worked at the Star before opening her own house at 42 Creek Street.

This attracted fishermen to stop at Ketchikan and not only did they visit the Star and the other brothels in Creek Street, but spent money in the town on supplies and repairs.
