Pickfair is a mansion and estate in the city of Beverly Hills, California. The original Pickfair was an estate designed by architect Horatio Cogswell for attorney Lee Allen Phillips of Berkeley Square as a country home. Phillips sold the property to actor Douglas Fairbanks in 1918. Dubbed "Pickfair" by the press, it became one of the most celebrated houses in the world. Life described Pickfair as "a gathering place only slightly less important than the White House... and much more fun."
