In Houston’s East End, those seeking curiosities will find a historically-registered Art Deco building that opened in the 1930s as The Houston Coffin Company — spooky, yet intriguing. Since 2013, the building has been home to Texas Art Asylum, a creative reuse center that still bears the former coffin factory’s golden grieving angel medallion above the doorway. Beyond these doors lies a collection of donated items and trinkets from every era of the last century.
