Great Moments- added on 02/06/2007 1903 Adirondack Chair Created One of the first and inexplicably most popular porch chairs in America. Reflecting values of natural country living and sitting...on largely unsmooth, splinter-producing, hard-as-rock bolted together pieces of trees formed in the rough shape of an electric chair.   Adirondack Chairs - submitted by Jill Woodruff on 04/23/2007
The chair was so named because it is a typical style that originated in the Adirondack mountains of northern New York state. The roughness described is actually seldom found in one of these chairs. They are usually well cared for, frequently painted with outdoor enamels each summer, and occasionally "pimped out" with wheels, umbrellas, side tables and even mosquito nets. In Lake Placid, NY there was a recent tour of these chairs placed around the community. There is a beautiful print of these chairs on the wall at the Howard Johnson's Restaurant in Lake Placid.  |
