Show Fig. 76 Lounge. Parowan. Thomas Durham. Softwood. Ca. 1870. H: 87.5 cm. W: 212.5 cm. D: 65.625 cm. Collection of DUP, Parowan. This double lounge with front extension section has come down in the family of Thomas Durham, foreman of the Parowan United Manufacturing Institution factory. The scrolled legs, applied turned medallions, and pedimented back are characteristic of the work of the P.U.M.I. cabinet shop. In spite of his skill as a craftsman, Thomas Durham is primarily remembered by his family and townspeople as a musician and composer of hymns. 77 |
