I am so excited about this bench that I can’t wait for better photos. I’ll add some later. My friends Jim and Treacy Malloy bought it for me at an auction at the YWCA. It is originally from the Oakland YWCA, designed by Julia Morgan and completed in 1915. It is perfect in my rustic kitchen. You will see this better when I add some photos not taken with my phone. (although this photo does have my cat Frodo’s tail, which is hard to beat.)

Sweet, perfect fit for your kitchen.
yes it is a perfect fit. Thanks
Hey Sarah
I used to work in that building (it’s now being used as a charter high school). I know the principal so let me know if you ever want a tour.

Hi Orville – I’d love a tour. I do not know much about the building. Being a YWCA, it must have had a tight budget, which sometimes yields interesting results. – Sarah
