Federal Parlor

Info

When Bayou Bend was a residence, this room was the bedroom of Ima Hogg’s older brother, Will Hogg.

The Federal Parlor displays a period-appropriate room setting of the Federal, or Neoclassical, period in the United States (1790–1810). The parlor was the room in which the family drank tea, played cards, danced, and entertained guests. The colorful wallpaper is an accurate reproduction of a French-inspired paper printed in Boston around 1790.
