New treasure at UB: this gorgeous antique Macey barrister bookcase.
Our completely unverified backstory is that it once belonged to a small-town attorney whose clients paid him in chickens, whiskey and extremely suspicious parcels of land.
The top shelves held law books.
The bottom held wills, property deeds and at least one handwritten confession that began, “In my defense, the mule started it.”
Now it has retired from practicing law and taken a quieter position displaying treasures at the Upstairs Basement.
