Description
Aerial view of the Emporium Club, Fairfax, circa 1928. Northwestern Pacific Railroad tracks run left to right through the center. Originally Pastori's Hotel and Restaurant, the Emporium Department Store purchased the property in 1925 for $250,000, and turned it into a country club for company employees; the swimming pool was built in 1927. In 1943, Max Friedman, a San Francisco businessman, purchased the property, renovated and expanded it, and it reopened on April 23, 1944 as the Marin Town & Country Club.
