Condition

Notes

Remarks: During Winte Cleaning 2015, it was noted that the proper left part of the washstand side and top is quite loose and should be glued more securely. One small nail is not holding the perpendicular pieces tightly together.

Notes

Remarks: During Winter Cleaning 2013, it was discovered that the lower shelf of the washstand was completely detached from the stand; Ted Hemberger of the Restoration Crew made the repair by cleaning the old glue residue and regluing the shelf back into position; this work was completed in March 2013.

Notes

Remarks: Details of condition: 10/22/02 top left side board is loose.
