The Music Room reflects an important interest of Ima Hogg, who was an accomplished pianist as well as a founder of the Houston Symphony. The room’s centerpiece is the exquisite Square Piano by Gibson & Davis.

Scenic wallpapers were popular with wealthy Americans in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Installed in 1993, the example that covers the Music Room’s walls features a French reproduction of an 1806 design called Hindustan, which signals the contemporary Western interest in the exotic.
