Desk, Nebraska State Tuberculosis Hospital, Artifact

Small golden oak desk that has one long drawer in front with two round, wooden knobs. There are four squared legs: the two on each side are connected by thin stretches underneath, and there is one, wide, flat stretcher that goes width-wise underneath. The edges of the table top are beveled and the corners are rounded. There is a small metal plaque on the back, left corner that reads: State of Nebr. Board of Control, FX 6267.

This object was found in the museum on third floor duing the 2015-2016 inventory. Due to the metal plaque, it is believed that this table was in the house during the TB hospital years.
