Two pages from the Heywood-Wakefield Theatre Seating Catalog, ca. 1937. The pages show two theater seats, O.C. 986 and O.C. 978, which were part of the Streamline Seating line. Started in 1826, the Heywood-Wakefield Company was the largest furniture manufacturing companies in America by 1926. In addition to their chairs and household furniture, Heywood-Wakefield produced seats for trains, airplanes, buses, baseball parks, schools and municipal auditoriums. At the time of this publication, their Theater seating was used in such venues as the Roxy Theater in Hollywood California. Today, Heywood-Wakefield seats are still in use in many older theaters.
