World’s Giant Chair

Title:World’s Giant Chair
Location:Gardner, MA
Description:It started quietly enough when the town of Gardner, Massachusetts, erected a twelve-foot-tall Mission chair in 1905. Word got around. Soon a rebel yell came from the reconstructed South; Thomasville, North Carolina — which prides itself on being part of the” Furniture and Hosiery Capital of the World” — decided to build a chair thirteen feet, six inches tall.
