This is a pair of very cool and unique, extra tall wooden candlestick holders. They are gorgeous and curvy, perfect mid-century vibes. The best part of these is that their vintage backstory is written on the bottom on one of the handmade sticks (text below), including the date "1967." These candlestick holders will hold a standard taper candle and will add some great height to your shelves, surfaces, etc. MEASUREMENTS Height: 18 inches Base Width: 4.5 inches Holder Width: 1.75 inches Text on bottom reads: Made from part of the walnut handrail from the east stairway of old Benjamin Harrison School #2 - built in Indianapolis in 1870 - site of which the new administration building for public schools stands -1967- less

Both sticks have very slight marks, but look remarkable, particularly considering their age.

When it comes to modern design, there are so many different styles to choose from. The most interesting and unique examples end up getting shared by the founder of the popular ‘Call It Design’ project.

Today I feature a guest post on my Civil War Sunday feature. Please welcome Christina from the blog Lazy Bones Running. Drayton Hall, located on the Ashley River outside of Charleston, South Carolina is “without question one of the finest of all surviving plantation houses in America” as declared by the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. The southern plantation house was built for John Drayton in 1744, passed through 7 generations and opened to the public in 1977 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Only three plantations along the Ashley River survived the Union Army after the civil war. Historians believe from reading letters that Drayton Hall survived the post-war destruction because it was used as a hospital most likely for small pox. There are also 2 other less likely theories on how the house survived. The first story is about a slave who told the Union troops the house was owned by a Northerner, which could have been Drayton’s cousin. The second theory is Sherman was in love with one of the Drayton women. Drayton Hall is different than other historic houses in that it is preserved as compared to restored. As you wander the rooms with a guide, you see the original plasterwork, a back circular stairwell and cracked, faded paint, much of it last painted after the civil war and it wasn’t painted again. You’ll even the see hole for the “toilet”, which fit a bed pan. Still void of electricity, heat and plumbing, this is a true historic house. Especially after touring restored plantations with luscious gardens in the Charleston area, there is a stark beauty and appreciation experiencing the historic house in its raw state. If you have an opportunity to visit Drayton Hall, make sure after touring the house to wander the spacious grounds and view the house through the reflection pond.
