This bench is across the street from the historic Dobbins House. There is another bench next to this screaming for its own donor. Both benches are at the back side and on a brick sidewalk and face due south, looking at the street. There is a decorative light pole between the two benches. The bench is a handsome wood slated variety with metal arm rests on the end and metal support underneath. The dedication marker is on the upper front center of the bench.
