Winthrop (population 394), made over with a Wild West theme in the 1970s, is a bizarre apparition, especially in the winter when lines of skinny Nordic skis instead of horses stand sentinel outside the storefronts.
Martin divides his time between a Gold Rush-era house atop San Francisco's Telegraph Hill, where the theme is the Wild West (racks of Colts and Winchesters, plus an 1880s roulette table with scrimshawed ivory chips), and a country house in the Napa Valley town of Rutherford.
