Preliminary work is underway to investigate if and how a credit union can replace a piece of local history in southwestern Vermont that was badly damaged last week. It s a piece of our history, for sure, said Linda Bow, an employee of the Tri-State Area Federal Credit Union branch in Bennington, referring to the wrecked landmark outside the credit union offices.
A nearly-20-foot-tall, 3,000-pound timber ladderback chair a replica of one from the 1940s that at the time was believed to be the world s largest now sits outside the credit union.
Earlier versions of the giant chair were mainstays in town for decades at a pair of furniture stores.

The giant ladderback chair at Tri State Area Federal Credit Union was damaged by people climbing on it Thursday morning. GREG SUKIENNIK â BENNINGTON BANNER
BENNINGTON â Thereâs very valid reasons mom says: âNo jumping on the furniture.â
Those reasons are clear as day on Washington Avenue, where the regionâs famous 19-foot-high ladderback chair stands broken, its wooden joints in splinters and its seat no longer in place. The âBig Chairâ is a replica of the original chair that stood in front of the former Haynes & Kane Furniture store until 2000, when weather damage rendered it unsalvageable.
