Title supplied by cataloger. Pickfair was an 18-acre estate in Beverly Hills, built between 1919 and 1923. It was designed by architect Wallace Neff for silent film actors Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. Dubbed "Pickfair" by the press, it was one of the most famous homes in the world. After Fairbanks and Pickford divorced in 1936, Pickford remarried Charles 'Buddy' Rogers and they resided in the home until her death in 1979. After remaining empty for several years, it was demolished in 1990. Pictured is a casual carpeted dining room with four fabric covered claw-footed chairs around an oval table. There is an ornate ceiling with a candelabra chandelier decorated with crystals. A bay window with open draped curtains lets in light, and a large potted plant is on the right.
