According to a document in the state archives dated September 22, 1936, Polus, registered as a teacher, resided on Herzl Street in Tel Aviv (then the Mahlul neighborhood), near the Delphinar-Yochananoff Silk Weaving and Dyeing Factory.

Polus used locally available, relatively simple and inexpensive materials such as concrete, plaster on lattice, and iron rods.
