A barber chair used for more than 64 years in shops owned by Dave and Nelson Lynch has special meaning for the Franklin County judge who restored it
The 65-year-old barber chair that Franklin County Common Pleas Judge Carl Aveni recently placed in his courthouse chambers is more than a mid-20th century curiosity to the judge.The judge purchased the chair on a lark after seeing if advertised on Facebook Marketplace in July.
Dave Lynch, who died in 2019, and his five siblings were pillars of Columbus' African American community. They included the late Dr. Orville Lynch Sr., an oral surgeon, and, who earned the nickname"Godfather of the Black Press" through his decades as editor of The Call and Post, and founder and publisher of The Columbus Post.
"It clicked in my head that, in my basement, it was just going to be an object," Aveni said."But this is an object that has meaning and history." Nelson Lynch and Orville Lynch Jr. were impressed with the results when they visited Aveni's chambers recently after the judge — with some help — hauled the 350-pound chair to the courthouse.
