Pulled the vinyl back, it's just glued down. There's a sort of rubber grommet? edge around the metal. I'm lucky this foam is still in good shape, and doesn't smell.

Nice big corner lot on Arden Park in Detroit, but in foreclusure and a bit lost these days.
Original photos can be found in "House Beautiful" 1914, and here www.detroityes.com/mb/showthread.php?8124-If-You-Could-Ow...
I'm making the little corner bumper things.
I stretched the fabric over the bare metal seat base and Woody promptly sat on it. You can see the topstitching in this pic.

In 1915, Dr. Roy Lanterman commissioned architect A. L. Haley to design a fireproof bungalow of reinforced concrete for his family and the result was a unique architectural treasure.
The house was made up of reinforced concrete in part because of the high risk of fire danger from the native chaparral surrounding the property but also because Dr. Lanterman’s relief role after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake made him particularly fire-conscious.
There are many arts and crafts elements in the Lanterman house. It retains its exquisite original interiors and furnishings, including elaborate hand-painted wall and ceiling ornamentation.
The entire second floor is devoted to a grand ballroom, and the interior retains its original craftsman furnishings.

Edward Hines, Jr., Veterans Administration Hospital Historic District
Hines, Illinois
Listed 10/09/2013
Reference Number:13000814
The Edward Hines, Jr., VA Hospital Historic District is significant as an example of a hospital that was financed jointly with private and federal funds, constructed prior to the acceptance of standardized plans to meet the immediate needs of the Chicago region's World War I veterans, and later incorporated Period II standardized buildings. The Edward Hines, Jr., VA Hospital Historic District includes a large, unique Main Infirmary Building (Resource 1, 1921) designed by private interests that was initially to serve returning veterans from World War I before its proposed conversion to serve the medical needs of Chicago residents. Construction began on the hospital during World War I but the conflict ended with the hospital only partially completed. After delays and investigations, the federal government offered to complete the hospital and take control of the facility from the private interests, with the facility transferred to the United States (U.S.) Public Health Service in March 1920. After the creation of the Veterans Bureau, the U.S. Public Health Service transferred the hospital in April 1922 to the Veterans Bureau. The Veterans Bureau was consolidated with two other federal agencies into the VA in 1930, with the former Veterans Bureau hospitals coming under the jurisdiction of the newly created VA. Construction was also undertaken within the Edward Hines, Jr., VA Hospital Historic District from the late 1920s through the 1940s, which includes Period II of Second Generation Veterans Hospitals. The Edward Hines, Jr., VA Hospital Historic District is an excellent example of a Second Generation Veterans Hospital that incorporates elements of both a privately planned facility built prior to the development of standardized designs for Period I veterans hospitals and of the Period II VA building campaign. The historic district is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) under Criterion A at the state level of significance in the area of politics and government because of the vigorous effort involved in acquiring the facility and its impact on the local community and veterans throughout the state of Illinois. The Edward Hines, Jr., VA Hospital Historic District is also eligible under Criterion A in the area of health and medicine at the state level of significance for implementing and continuing the mission of the federal government to provide quality health care for the nation's veterans, primarily those of World War I and World War II, through the U.S. Public Health Service, Veterans Bureau, and VA. Thousands of veterans received subsidized medical care at the hospital throughout the period of significance. The Edward Hines, Jr., VA Hospital Historic District is also eligible under Criterion C in the area of architecture at the state level of significance because it is an intact example of a Second Generation Veterans Hospital blending a previously designed hospital with later Period II buildings exhibiting Colonial Revival and Classical Revival elements. The distinctive design of the fireproof, multi-story, Main Infirmary Building (Resource 1, 1921), which is 2,000 feet in length and 50 feet wide, provided each patient room or ward plentiful sunlight and ventilation while serving patients with tuberculosis, neuropsychiatric illnesses, and general medical and surgical care within a single building. The hospital originally served veterans of Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. The Edward Hines, Jr., VA Hospital Historic District is also significant for its monumental Administration Building (Resource 2, 1929) that serves as a focal point for the historic district. The period of significance and assessm~nt of contributing and noncontributing resources for this nomination are based on the historic district's significance within the historic contexts developed in the United States Second Generation Veterans Hospitals Multiple Property Documentation Form (MPDF). Resources constructed after 1950, and thus considered noncontributing within this nomination, may possess significance under themes not fully developed as part of the MPDF. Resources located within the hospital campus may be eligible or contributing for other associations or contexts under National Register Criteria A-D, or recent buildings/structures may be eligible under Criteria Consideration G, for resources of exceptional importance that are less than 50 years of age.

It seems like they only really used glue on the edges? I had to soak and scrub the whole seat pan to get it clean.

The aluminum back plate was supposed to be screwed to the padded front through here. Mine came without the 4 screws.
I found aluminum screws at HD, they're #6-32 machine screws. The shortest I found were 1/2", and they're a tad too long, will probably end up ordering some 3/8" and 1/4"
fact of the day:
The bark of an older redwood tree is fireproof.

COMMENT :D
Safe I picked up today, literally, ouch. Its a sentry safe but you will not find any videos of this one on youtube being thrown up against a CMU wall. I'd guess its a stout 250 pounds, and the lady who I picked it up from said that it is at least 50 years old. Gotta love craigslist .
The painted vinyl seat cover, so stiff it stands up by itself.
The cover is three parts, two sides joined in the back, and the top.
Beautiful flowers in my back garden :)

BIG MOUTH: contemporary feminist voices in art and illustration
OPENING AUGUST 9 @ BROOKLYN FIREPROOF
a group show featuring
Suzy Exposito / Molly Fair / Kim Funk / Kathleen Hanna
J. Morrison / Adee Roberson / Gabby Schulz
Curated by Kate Wadkins + Lauren Denitzio, BIG MOUTH: contemporary voices in feminist art + illustration is a platform for unpopular visual opinions. Feminist movements have historically grown out of interventions within radical communities in the face of silence, anger, and often, violence. Still, these conflicts and contentions are fought with the utmost passion and humor in hopes for a radical resolution. BIG MOUTH illustrates the ever-evolving search for feminist/queer identities and communities. This group show places feminist narratives at the center of radical art-making, where often our voices are poorly represented or left out altogether. BIG MOUTH is a celebration of our pluralism, our goofiness, and a proclamation of defiant love.

The presentation of the bottle of wine for the Elkhart Lake Cup was delayed because the winner was crewing for his wife driving in another race. The Race Chairman neglected have the wine bottle at the Triumph pit for the presentation, so the winner says, "use one of those other bottles for the presentation and I'll put my hand over the label". See notes.
