The Lakeside Crafts Shops (LCS) out of Sheboygan, Wisconsin produced an incredible array of furniture and novelties that many of us are just beginning to appreciate. In fact, until a reprint of the 1912 LCS catalogue with brief history by Peter Copeland was published by Turn of the Century Editions/Parchment Press in December 2006, we knew very little about this company. We’ll save the details for the book itself, but here are a few of the more salient points.
It turns out that this little company likely produced quite a volume of Arts and Crafts items between approximately 1911 and 1916. I say approximately, because LCS was associated with the Wisconsin Chair Company (a huge concern in the U.S. at the time and by 1898 it was the world’s largest manufacturer of floor rockers) and first went by the name The Woodcraft Guild. Apparently the same pieces could have been produced by all three companies. Identical pieces have been found with the Woodcraft Guild mark and the LCS mark. After 1916, when the Arts and Crafts ‘craze’ was dying down in earnest, the company produced Bluebird cedar chests (and some other novelties) and phonograph cabinets. Re the latter, turns out Fred Dennett was pals with Edison. The LCS went out of business in the 1930’s, but the original building remains in Sheboygan – with a woodworking company still in residence! Incidentally, Sheboygan was considered the chair capital of the U.S. yet, as mentioned, LCS did not have one chair design.
