Commander's chair and Adjutant's desk.

Chaplain's chair and Quartermaster's desk.

The two pictures above are from Annotated Catalogue of Relics in Memorial Room, Capt. Thos. Espy Post No. 153, G.A.R., Library Building: Carnegie, Penna., 1911, but you can see two others, the originals of which are missing. Page 12 contains photographs of the Commander's chair and Adjutant's desk (top) and Junior Vice Commander's chair (bottom) and page 13 contains photographs of the Senior Vice Commander's chair (top) and Chaplain's chair and Quartermaster's desk (bottom). The bottom picture of page 12 and the top picture of page 13 are the missing ones. The images and the scans unfortunately are of extremely poor quality.
