The Beer Can House Houston

In 1968, John Milkovisch, a retired upholsterer for the Southern Pacific Railroad, decided he got sick of mowing the grass, at his Houston home. So he laid marble, rock and wood into landscaping features. Not wanting to stop there, Milkovisch then covered his house with aluminum siding made entirely of flattened beer cans. Over 18 years, he attached an estimated 50,000 beer cans, including beer can garlands that hang from the roof and sing in the wind. Why? Were not entirely sure, but Milkovisch said on the houses website, I guess I just thought it was a good idea. And its easier than painting. He said hes tickled with people who drive around the block a few times, then return with a carload of friends. Take a group to Houston and pay him a visit.
