Basement Chair

Basement Chair

Heading down to the basement, we didn't expect to find anything as the building was so empty (much like the rest of the campus), but here was a nice old wheelchair with three wheels...

That is sooo cool. It needs to be a museum.

BTW did you sit in it Motts? That would have been a neat photo of you sitting in it.

No, I wouldn't want it to fall apart... I have sat in similar chairs (waiting for various reasons), they're quite comfortable even without any padding.

Wow, reminds me of the little wheelchair from the movie "The Changeling" in some ways! Just hope that it doesn't try and chase you! LOL!

A wooden reclining wheelchair- with three wheels.
Looks like it should be on the deck of a cruise ship.

Yikes, those old wheelchairs creep me out...those and old rocking chairs.

Looks like maple though, it might stand up if you sat on it.

There were chairs exactly like this in the hospital I currently work for...about 35 yrs ago I remember being in one with a broken leg...they had smaller ones for kids. The hospital still has the chairs, but they are safely under the lock and key of the lone nun who still works there, she's about 88-90. Old lady still does "furniture rounds" just about every day, too....

That wheel chair probably is worth quite a bit to a person who really be interested in it...exspecially in that condition. I wonder if anyone has ever taking something and got some money for something like that? I know I would do it for that...because if I just got that for myself it would freak me out...lol!

Motts, that picture is beautiful. It's a shame that the wheelchair is only going to sit there and rot when it could be in a historical center. But anywho, it's lovley!
