Thomasville calls itself "Chair City" and "Chair Capital of the South," so it makes sense that it erected a giant chair in its downtown.

The World's Largest Duncan Phyfe Chair in Thomasville continues to be a well-cared-for town landmark. To augment your pilgrimage, head to the street corner immediately behind the chair (on the right if you are looking at the chair). There's a painted brick wall mural. The World's Largest Chair -- how it looked in the mid-20th century, before the claim was revised to include "Duncan Phyfe" -- is surrounded by colorful flowers.

Impressive up close, in a pretty location, with a nice garden in front of it, railroad tracks next to it, picnic tables right behind it. The chair was up so high that it was a little awkward to take a decent picture. Definitely worth the trip if in the area.
