I have never really been to the Anacostia area of Washington, Dc. But from what I hear it is a distinguished place. It is a part of D.C that is famous for lots of historical things such as its name ‘Anacostia’, the streets of Anacostia like Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, and “The World’s Largest Chair”. “The World’s Largest Chair” was placed in Anacostia on 2010 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE during the year 1959. I have never seen the chair but my research says that it is 19.5 feet tall and 4,600 pounds. And I found out that the chair was made for advertisement. The chair is a replica of Duncan Phyfe model that was built by Bassett Furniture Company. It was made to advertise a furniture store that is now closed called “Curtis and Brothers Furniture Store.” The chair was built across from the store and almost 50 years later “The World’s largest chair” was removed to be refurnished due to mold and rot. The new version of the chair was introduced in spring 2006. I have read some that people were not happy and called the chair “a wannabe” but I have also read that the new chair looks good. I couldn’t be a judge because I have not seen the old one, but hopefully I will go to see the new chair soon, aswell other landmarks in Anacostia.
