Bayou Bend Gardens - Philadelphia Hall and Jones Visitors Center
In 1926 Miss Ima Hogg and her brothers Will and Mike Hogg chose this 14 acre site for their home. The stately John Staub designed mansion, a gift by "Miss Ima" to the Museum of Fine Arts in 1957, is filled with her extensive collection of American furnishings and art. Bayou Bend is surrounded by natural woodlands and formal gardens, and has been supervised and maintained by the River Oaks Garden Club since 1961.
