High Point, North Carolina - World's Largest Chest of Drawers

The building has been sold, and the word is that it will be remodeled (interior only!) into an office building, the home of the High Point Jaycees, and that the exterior will be "maintained".

It is open during weekdays, and is open to the public. [Dan, 04/18/2009]

High Point, North Carolina - World's Largest Bureau

The World's Largest Bureau, and the building to which it is attached, now has a "For Sale" sign on it. Hopefully the new owner will continue to maintain this impressive roadside attraction. [M. Eggimann, 08/27/2006]

High Point Bureau. High Point, North Carolina - World's Largest Bureau

Here is an updated view of the Giant Bureau. Notice that there is a "For Sale" sign in front. Also some news on the Big Chair in my home town of Thomasville. It was recently restored and in 2002, during the 150th town celebration, a 50 yr old time capsule buried at the base of the Big Chair was opened. The contents can be viewed at the city hall building, less than a block away from the square. [David Yemm, 05/18/2005]

Bureau preview High Point, North Carolina - Big Bureau

In my hometown, High Point, NC...it's the Big Bureau! Actually the world's largest bureau, located only ten minutes from Thomasville, home of the World's Largest Chair. The Big Bureau is the home of the High Point Jaycees, on Hamilton Street less than a mile from the center of downtown. It recently enjoyed a major makeover and is truly a sight to behold-- Queen Anne style, giant wood bureau, complete with a pair of socks hanging out of one drawer. [Leanne Rizzo, 01/18/1997]

[RA: Not so fast with those WL Chair claims... Here's a classic postcard of the WL Bureau.]
