Charles Pollock has spent the last 38 years, since 1967, renovating his 1920s Los Angeles residence and has earned renown as a local decorator, antiques dealer and furniture designer. In order to get the proportions right as well as an overall picture that is pleasing, Pollock has managed to make major renovations including moving the entrance, enclosing the balcony, redoing the kitchen, shrinking the dining room and opening up the house with French doors and windows.
