It looks like the big ottoman that accompanied the big chair is gone.

The footstool is a mess, very deteriorated towards the back.

The first offbeat photo op as you enter Maine is well worth the stop. The ottoman in front of the chair is in need of some repair, as part of the top of it appears to have rotted away, so be careful where you step. The chair itself is in good shape. There's plenty of parking and it's easy to find.

The chair is big enough for two people. It had mud around it from the rain, so go on a clear day. The kids liked it.

Big easy chair to sit in.
