This was once the largest chest of drawers in the world. Built in 1920, it stands 38 feet tall in High Point, North Carolina. Now the tallest stands at another end of town, at 80 feet. As of this writing, I haven’t seen that one yet.
Looks big enough even for my socks! Whyever in the world would someone build such a thing?
PermalinkHigh Point, North Carolina, nearby Thomasville, and other surrounding towns are known for their furniture, and have been for at least 100 years, apparently.
