Pickfair Estate Auction Preview: Episode 2

Hollywood in the 1920s was a wild place and the king and queen of the social insanity were Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. And their party place, dubbed Pickfair, welcomed dignitaries, royalty, presidents, stars and debauchery.
They were the Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes of early 1900s Hollywood. Now you can own one of more than 700 pieces of fine art, furnishings and jewelry that graced the home, dubbed Pickfair, owned by Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks.
This amazing two-day auction, conducted by Julien's Auctions, and broadcast live on Auction Network (auctionnetwork.com) will be held at the Beverly Hilton, Saturday, Nov. 22 and Sunday, Nov. 23, starting at 10am/8c both days.
Pickford was known as "America's Sweetheart" during Hollywood's Golden Age of silent films. Dinners there were legendary with guests including Charlie Chaplin, Albert Einstein, and F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Some of the storied and exotic items from Pickfair up for bid include rare artworks such as two oil-on-canvas still life paintings by Paul de Longpre and Philip Mercier.

I would like to know who in the Beverly Hills or Los Angeles City councils let Pickfair get torn down???????? I cannot believe that anyone on the councils would agree to this, and even where we live so far away cannot understand how they let this happen.
