History
editThe Altadena Town and Country Club was founded in 1910, making it one of the oldest social clubs in the San Gabriel Valley. The original clubhouse, a two-story building designed in the Craftsman style, was constructed shortly after the club's founding.[4][5] Over the years, the clubhouse underwent several renovations and expansions to accommodate the growing membership and the need for modern facilities.[6]
In January 2025, the club was destroyed by the Eaton Fire that greatly affected the Altadena area.[7]
