The history of the Catholic Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, dates to 1833 and Father Frederic Baraga. Construction of this particular building, however, began in 1875 and was completed the following year. The history is better explained here.

I need to take a peek at the rear side of the chair back to see if there 's a mark, but I believe this is a dining chair made by American Seating Corporation. Like several other marquee furniture makers, this company is located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
"From the 1870s through the 1930s, Grand Rapids was the center of the furniture industry. Today, many of the largest office furniture companies are still in the West Michigan area." (source)

«En un discurso pronunciado en una reunión pletórica de gente entusiasta, Chris Cherest dijo cierta vez: “Si esos dos muchachos holandeses de Grand Rapids, Michigan, pueden ir de la bancarrota y un barco hundido a ser dueños de un negocio cuyo valor asciende a varios billones, y por añadidura de un equipo de la NBA (Asociación Nacional de Baloncesto), entonces cualquiera puede hacerlo”. Yo estoy de acuerdo».
