Texas Room

Info

In the mid-1800s, Texas experienced a surge of German immigrants who brought a taste for furniture with simple, comfortable designs and fine craftsmanship. The Texas Room, paneled with cedar woodwork, is inspired by a home in Independence, Texas. The room features objects made by Germans in Central Texas during this period, as well as English ceramics that commemorate the Texas War of Independence and the Mexican-American War. The space was originally used as a tiled bath and dressing rooms for Will and Mike Hogg.
