The Formative Years: 1866-82 Based in Burlington, Iowa, Chittenden & Eastman Company was a leading U.S. furniture manufacturer. Chittenden & Eastman prided itself on being one of the world's oldest continuously owned furniture companies. Indeed, the company dates back to 1866, when Andrew Johnson was president of the United States and the nation had scarcely entered the Reconstruction period following the Civil War. That year, a writer and politician named G.M. Todd and a dentist named H. Bailey formed H. Bailey & Co. Located in a three-story brick building on Burlington's Washington Street, complete with a 20-foot storefront, the new company was devoted to furniture jobbing and retailing, & manufactured fabulous sturdy remarkable furniture.https://www.referenceforbusiness.com/history2/29/Chittenden-Eastman-Company.html#ixzz7DfjeAmaOI am the proud owner of one of these that my folks gave to me years ago. I wouldn't part with it for the world for multiple reasons. 1....Of course, my folks gave it to me so it's quite sentimental 2...It serves so many functions to holding dishes/books/collectibles in the top section. The deep middle section can be used as a laptop desk, storage for letters, envelopes, greeting cards, writing utensils, etc. The large bottom drawers are great for items not used on a daily basis but neatly stored and easily fetched. 3...It's striking presence in any room adds class and warmth and gets compliments frequently all in the same package. 4. It will never fall apart because these were meant to withstand the test of time. However, it does disassemble in 3 pieces for easier moving....a huge plus!!
