This piece of furniture was my Grandmother
Cardinal's. I don't know its previous history,
but she gave up house keeping in 1913, so it
must have been old then. It was a dark stained
finish, painted white in the 1920's for use
in our bath room. One of the towel rack bars
was broken as early as I remember and has
been removed.
