 Anacostia's Big Chair           

   Renovated by: Nelson’s Welding April 2005

Anacostia has a very special landmark called the “Big Chair.”  Everyone in Anacostia knows that the big chair is located on Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue and V Street, SE.  The big chair was built  for Curtis Brothers Furniture Company, which was established in 1926.  Bassett Furniture Industries of Virginia constructed it.  Based on a Duncan Fife design, this special chair was built from original plans by Leo A. Jiranek.  At the time, it was said to be the largest chair in the world.  The chair is made of African mahogany and weighs 4,600 pounds.  It is 19½ feet high and stands on a concrete, 4-foot-high pedestal.  Its seat is as large as two double-sized beds.
