 | High Chair
Made by Carl Devin for his son, David in 1956 or 1957. It was made when David's brother, Gary, was able to sit in the baby high chair with the tray, but David was too small to sit in a regular chair at the dinner table. All of Carl and Pat's children used the chair as they got too big for their baby high chairs.
The chair was made from wood recycled from the tops of school desks. The Woodburn school district purchased new desks to replaces the old rail desks. The old desks were being thrown away, so Carl used the wood.
The chair was handed down to their, son David. |
