Notes

Conservation comments from 10/1996 state that entire chest should be checked for additional loose moldings. Light control needs to be established on window, and some barrier for bathroom traffic.

Notes

In 1995 drawer slides were remade because originals were too worn. William Clark used aluminum angle stock screwed to the drawer sides. He also replaced beaded molding and refinished piece.
