Peter Reckling

Before and after of the chairs Reckling restored. All chairs were bought in 1939 for the new Kent Library, all made of tigered oak. Only 14 chairs exist currently. The original purchase number for these chairs was 250.

HP majors do exciting things both in and out of the classroom… Peter Reckling, a junior Historic Preservation major from Nebraska, uses his passion for preservation and restoration to restore 100-year old Kent Library furniture.
