THS began collecting in 1958 to fill the Kellum-Noble house with furnishings from the 1850s. Some items had Houston provenance or history, but some were common 19th-century furnishings. The collections grew as THS added more historic buildings to the park and built a museum gallery. They aim to utilize the collection to “tell Houston’s stories.”

19th and early 20th century pieces, including beds, wardrobes, sofas, washstands, immigrant trunks, chairs, tables, etc.  Many of the pieces were hand-made in Texas, while other strengths in this grouping include family heirlooms donated by descendants of the owners of the historic buildings at THS.

ART: 

Texas, as well as Houston artists, are represented in the art collection. Most pieces were collected to interpret each historic house and date from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
