"The block-long, historic Emporium building in the heart of downtown Point Reyes Station changed hands last week in a $2.3 million deal. Four West Marin residents who hoped to keep rents affordable for the longstanding businesses housed in the building stepped in as investors, helping Leslie Kruth of Dogtown"”whose parents, Jean and Larry Marks, bought the building in 1991"”and her husband, Hal, to buy out the other heirs. The new group of owners intends to keep all the same tenants, including Cabaline Country Emporium, Point Reyes Books, Bovine Bakery, Leona's, and those who use several offices upstairs.
