This is the original world’s largest chest of drawers in High Point, North Carolina. The socks dangling out of the front of the drawer symbolize the area’s hosiery industry, while the dresser itself represents the area’s strong furniture industry. The building served as the area’s Bureau of Information in the past. A larger dresser, one almost 80 feet high, was built fairly recently at a furniture factory in High Point.
