Description

One-of-a-kind rustic chair made of smooth pieces for driftwood.

Context

According to Chris Mantels, who worked at the Presbyterian Camp, "The chair was made by the late Rev. Bill Lankton and hung in the Camp Directors House/Cabin named Wisteria until the camp closed. I am guessing that is the point at which John Manchester must have retrieved it." and "It used to have seat cushions on it that are no longer shown."
