Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. . Clore's website notes: In 1921, Edward Ashby Clore built a furniture workshop on the site of the current plant. From ti…me to time, he would even build a coffin for the use of his brother, J.C., the Town of Madison's undertaker. The shop caught fire in 1927, but with no Town fire department, the workshop burned to the ground in the 20 minutes it took firefighters from Orange County to arrive. E.A. Clore rebuilt, enlarging and revamping operations, but fire struck again in October of 1930 just as Clore was furnishing President Herbert Hoover's newly built camp in what is now the Shenandoah National Park. When word of the destructive fire reached her, Mrs. Hoover loaned Mr. Clore $200 to help rebuild. In return, a table and chair, sold by Woodward and Lothrop in Washington, D.C., were named Peter and Peggy in honor of the Hoover grandchildren. In exceptionally good condition.
