MISS PORTER’S SCHOOL
When Miss Porter’s School was adding on to its dining hall and student community center a beloved giant beech tree that the school had been nurturing for years finally needed to be removed. City Bench worked with the school to salvage the beech tree and bring to life two 25’L built-in benches with nesting benches underneath, four round coffee tables, an 8’ bench, and 100 ring bowls for the graduating class. We also made two gateleg pine tables from beams we reclaimed during the building’s renovation as well as a large conference table from an ash tree that grew in Hartford’s historic Bushnell park.
- Species: Beech, pine, ash
- Features: Metal bases, builtins, gatelegs, turned legs
