Isaac Maxwell Archtct

This place is only open by appointment. You can peer in the windows and get an idea of what goes on in there. I didn’t really know that Isaac Maxwell was an architect. That’s not what goes on here, as far as I know. It’s a place where they sell lights, sconces, lamps, chandeliers, and other lighting apparatuses. They have some really interesting stuff. My mom got a set of outdoor lights that look like something from that movie, Stargate. It’s bent and pierced copper with a light in the middle that make the whole thing glow with points of lights that go shooting out of it.
His designs all have a steampunk western kind of feeling to them, if you know what I mean.
However, I thought Isaac Maxwell has been dead for years, and they’re still selling the stuff he made. I think that means that if you have any problems with it, don’t go looking for him to fix it.

The only bad thing about this gallery is that they’re only open by appointment. I feel like this is a pretty big disappointment since the art work is really great. It would be nice if they could hire a couple of people to watch the gallery a few days a week. It’s right on South Alamo so if you’re walking around you pass right by it. I’m not too sure if they open up on First Fridays but, I definitely feel like it would be great if they were open to the public more. The art work is absolutely stunning. It reminds me a lot of when I was a kid and I had the faux metal in art class to make stuff out of. It’s a really interesting place so if you’re a fan of metal art I would highly recommend going down here… just call ahead.
