This chair was built c1909 in San Francisco, for an Eisteddfod (Welsh literary festival) there. It's been in California ever since, and today it held a place of honor on the stage at the St. David's Day festivities in rainy Los Angeles.

At the Welsh Church in Los Angeles, for a Gymanfa Ganu in 2011. The church congregation was dissolved about a year later. Llawenhewch means 'rejoice." Dihangfa Dan means "fire exit."
