What mountain range shares a name with a well-known type of chair?
Andes
Cascades
Himalayas
Adirondacks
The Adirondack chair is an outdoor lounge chair with wide armrests, a tall slatted back, and a seat that is higher in the front than the back. The Adirondack chair gets its name from the Adirondack Mountain range in upstate New York. The chair was invented by Thomas Lee in 1903 in the town of Westport, New York, and was originally named the Westport plank chair in honor of its birthplace. According to legend, the chair earned its name because guests of a convalescent home for tuberculosis patients in the Adirondack Mountains enjoyed sitting in it to take in the therapeutic fresh mountain air.
