Step inside a Victorian home in downtown Chattanooga - and the art is all around you: glass, furniture, antiques.

The Houston Museum of Decorative Arts in the Bluff View Art District showcases the collection acquired over decades in the last century by one woman: Anna Safley Houston.

Next Sunday, December 3rd, the Museum hosts its annual Holiday Tea - and next year brings its 50th Annual Antiques Show and Sale.
