It's a buffet table. The straps are to hold the chocolate and champaigne fountains in place during moving. The chair was for the person monitoring the festivities and making sure there was plenty of marshmallows and plastic cups.

Your probably right, i must admit not living in
the village anymore that i am probably not
on about the relative merits of millbrook's
"leaders" ! I guess I felt pretty disappointed
in the last 2 mayors, under whose tenure things
COULD have been improved, and felt that
Andy, who I think is a decent guy on a human level at least, might have brought some of that to the job.
I've tried to evolve my position as the situation changes:; that is, that "restoring"
Halcyon is out of the question, case closed.
That the development scenario already
in motion [?] DOES provide for some
sympathetic retention of stonework, the chapel, cottages, etc.
I do think that IS preferable to just tearing it all down outright. So my advocacy for this building's rescue starting in 1989, appears now to have
evolved to a position of "siding" with developers, if one were not careful to
recognize the nuance of my argument.
If THEY are going to save some of this place, then I will side with whoever THEY are!
... with reservations about the
impact on the character of the village.
I love Millbrook, and I care deeply about the place, on alot of levels. So your right, there
are no easy solutions or answers. Other than your point which is local government, in
general, and this one in particular, ARE THE
PROBLEM! And that dealing with them is useful if only
because one must go over or around their bullshit inevitably. But you are right that they
no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt from anybody, not even an optimistic
maniac like myself!
Bottom line the building IS falling down,
the OWNER might want to get his shit together and advise the board, the public,
etc etc. But we all know, on a business level that would be a lit bag of dynamite in the
current climate of Absolute Code Compliance.

The curved edges are to keep bodily fluids contained in case they (fluids) were released during moving which is common for recently deceased people. So how much of what pooled on that thing? Into the 'Maytag' autoclave.
