World’s Largest Duncan Phyfe Chair

This is a quirky roadside attraction, located in Anacostia of Washington DC. It is one of the World’s Largest Duncan Phyfe Chair, although the one in Thomasville, NC is the biggest one, it stands 30 feet high from the bottom of the 12-​foot base to the top of the 18– foot chair. The seat was 10−½ feet wide. This one in DC is 19.5 foot-​tall. The landmark that was dismantled last summer after 46 years in 2005, after an 8 month’s absence, the chair was back in April 25, 2006. The chair’s owner is Curtis Properties Inc. The new structure is identical in size and color to the original.
But instead of mahogany, used to make the original, the new chair, including the cushion, is aluminum, which — expected to require minimal maintenance.
