A piece of Furniture City history is up for sale. This would make a great office or possibly showroom.
FOR SALE: A major roadside attraction and piece of NC history has just gone up for sale: The World’s Largest Chest of Drawers.
It’s a century old, and bigger than a house. I wonder if you could live inside.
Towering 38-feet-tall along a High Point roadside, it’s been listed for sale for $175,000. Inside is two levels with 2,382 square feet of space. It’s been used in the past to house the Chamber of Commerce.
A nearby children’s museum had purchased the historic structure several years ago, but the landmark no longer fits into their future plans.
The giant chest of drawers was built in 1926 — though it looked very different in that era. For nearly a century, it’s served as a symbol of High Point’s identity as the “Furniture Capital of the World.”
Today, a fence and signs are around the iconic structure. It’ll be interesting to see who will buy the unique roadside attraction and what its future holds.
