The Antiquarium
This paper-focused gallery holds a treasure trove of antiques, such as ancient maps and sea charts, and delicately rendered biographical portraits, old animal drawings, and original manuscripts. Fully embracing Houstonâs legacy as the early government seat of the Republic of Texas (we like to claim we were the first capital, but technically that was the town of Columbia) the store also carries a plethora of historical Texas documents, maps, and currency, including Republic of Texas dollar bills.Â
