Hello - I have a rocking chair version of Greene and Greene's Blacker
House armchair in progress. It's proven to be an interesting project! I
have posted images of my progress on my website at:

Were you able to pull dimensions from their chairs?
Are the chairs in a museum where they can be viewed by the public?

I've had an interest in making one of the bedroom rocking chairs from the
Blacker house, but the only thing I've found about them is the one photo in
a publication I have in my library. A Google will reveal much about the
Blacker house, but not so much about the furniture.
I've never gotten around to it, but probably will at least come up with
plans. I know the dimensions of other rocking chairs and have a design that
is comfortable to use. I suppose I will start with the proportions of the
design that I have and modify it to look like the bedroom rockers. I think
cherry will be my choice of wood.
