Students in Associate Professor of Human Sciences Leisha Bridwell’s history of interiors course at Stephen F. Austin State University recently toured Bayou Bend Museum, which was the home of Ima Hogg, who is known as the “First Lady of Texas.”
During this historical tour of furniture, decorative accessories and architecture, students also visited various homes and a church at Sam Houston Park, which integrated architecture of early Houston settlers. “Interior design students were able to see firsthand examples of historical American furniture from all period styles,” Bridwell said.
