"Users have reported the chair is now gone. This spot may be cursed - it's had its fair share of calamities. The first giant ladderback was erected in 1969 where it stood until 2012," the Fotospot says.

"Taken down due to wood rot the new furniture store spent considerable time and funds to build a new, shiny rot-resistant chair only to have it broken by strong winds 20 days later.

"Soon after it was repaired the store burned down even though the chair still stands."

"The United States is loaded with curiosities said to be the "world's largest" or biggest, and sometimes the distinctions are nuanced," the Library of Congress says.

"This one, in Bennington, Vermont, is proclaimed to be the World's Tallest Ladderback Chair. It sat outside a furniture store, logically, until the store burned down, at which point it was moved to the store's rebuilt location in Vermont."

""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," the NECN says.

"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.

"Bow said visitors come through all the time to snap photos, since Bennington's famous chair has long been listed in travel guides as a quirky roadside attraction."

"The new “Big Chair,” which traces its roots to a popular tourist landmark erected in the 1960s, was formally unveiled in a ribbon-cutting Thursday at the Tri State Area Federal Credit Union branchWorld's Tallest Ladderback Chair, world record in Bennington, Vermont," the Bennington Banner says.

"Noting a need for repair work to the wooden structure, the credit union recently worked with Vermont Timber Frames and other businesses to refurbish and redesign the chair.

The credit union had rescued the chair in 2018 after its second owner — LaFlamme’s Furniture — closed in 2017. The credit union later placed it near its new branch office at 85 Washington Ave.

"The 19' high, 2000 lb., red ladderback chair has been restored and relocated to the parking lot of LaFlamme, Inc. furniture store in Bennington, VT.," the Waymarking says.

"A sign suspended from the seat of the chair gives the history of LaFlamme, Inc. and the ladderback chair.

"Based on an antique tat had been in his family for generations, the original Chair was built in 1969 by Kenneth C. Porter for William Haynes. At 2000 pounds, it was the largest ladderback chair in the world when first placed at this location. It was dismantled in 2000 due to its deteriorating condition."

"Our ladderback chair represents a piece of Bennington’s history. Based on an antique that had been in his family for generations, the original chair was built in 1969 by Kenneth C. Porter for William Haynes. At 2000 pounds and 19-foot 1 inch tall, it was at that time, the largest ladderback chair in the world." the Tri State Area FCU says.

"The Big Chair has been rebuilt and relocated in the several years before it landed at its new home with Tri State Area Federal Credit Union in 2018.

"Made, now, of 3000 pounds of cedar and white pine and 1000 feet of marine rope the chair continues to stand tall and proud."

"This world record-breaker 19-foot chair has a history of bouncing back. The original was created in 1969 but over the years, it was affected by the elements and taken down in 2000," the Only In Your State says.

"A new store, LaFlammes, purchased the land and made a replica. You'll want to read the history behind it here. (Unfortunately, LaFlammes is no longer in business.)"

"Chair. Originally built in 1969, and weighing in at 2000 pounds, this reproduction of an antique ladderback chair graced the property of Hayes and Kanes Furniture until 2000 when it was dismantled because it was deemed unsafe. At the time it was erected, it was the WORLD’S LARGEST LADDERBACK CHAIR," the Carl With Big Things says.

"A couple of years after the big chair disappeared, LaFlamme’s Furniture opened at the location, and the owners, one of whom was an area native, decided to BRING BACK THE CHAIR with help from local businesses and public support. The new chair was dedicated on December 1, 2012. Astonishingly, the new chair stood for only 20 days before it collapsed, toppled by a freak “Nor’icane” windstorm.

"Not to be defeated, LaFlamme’s had the chair back up within a month – and this time anchored its legs, with chains, into cement. And then – the store burned down! The giant chair somehow escaped the flames, and stood, forlornly, until February 2015, when it was moved to a spot in front of a new LaFlamme’s location in town. The new chair weighs 3000 pounds and the seat is made of marine-grade rope, to resist rot and mildew."
