Tuxedo (Sofa) Junction

It's a junction where the town folks meet 
At each function in a tux they greet you 
Come on down, forget your care 
Come on down, you'll find me there 
So long town, I'm heading for 
Tuxedo Junction now
-Glen Miller

A classic Tuxedo sofa with it's straight streamlined style calls to mind a time of sophistication and elegance. Think, Myrna Loy and William Powell, Lena Horne, Ellington, Rogers and Astaire. It has been around since the 1920s and was named after Tuxedo Park in New York as was it's cousin the Tuxedo. The arms and back of the sofa are usually the same height and it may or may not have attached back cushions. Often it will have a single seat cushion but can be found with two or three. Here are some pictures the classic tuxedo sofa.
