Bayou Bend

Ima Hogg's historic mansion

1 Westcott St
Houston, TX 77007

This 28-room mansion is the former home of Ima Hogg, a famous philanthropist. Visitors can wander through 14 acres of woodlands and formal gardens, or check out the house that contains 4,800 various works of art. This art represents the American style from colonial to mid-nineteenth century. The house is a lovely lifestyle museum of that century. One warning though, children under 10 can wander the gardens but are not allowed in the house.
