The Chillman Suite

The furnishings, in the Grecian-style, illustrate the ancient Greek, Roman and Egyptian designs that were popular in the early 1800s.

The Belter Parlor

The highly ornate Rococo Revival style presented in this room would have been considered the height of fashion in the 1850s.

The Gardens

Bayou Bend Gardens were originally, in Miss Hogg's words, "nothing but a dense thicket." Undaunted, she created several gracious and beautiful gardens. Miss Hogg also appreciated the beauty of the area's natural environment. She retained part of the surrounding woodlands and created a less formal garden environment on the south side of the property.

Clio Garden

Clio, the muse of history, also presides over this ornamental garden that was created while the house was being built.

Woodland Trails

The beauty of native trees and shrubs form a spectacular backdrop to the formal gardens surrounding the house at Bayou Bend.
