Description
a chairmaker in Bayou La Batre, AL. was contracted to build 200 rocking chairs to line the front porch of "The Mobile Infirmary" The way I remember the story the man who made these chairs died right after or in the middle of his 200 chair contract. these (2)chairs have been in the family since the infirmary went through one of its many rebuilds over the years. their are archived photos which show the chairs on the front porch. ( somewhere ). I believe the University of South Alabama has them. I grew up sitting in these and after the passing of my parents i ended up with them. Reid Goldsby was the person who got the two chairs I have from the Infirmary (step Grandfather) I am very interested in knowing an apx. value of these chairs
