BEER CAN HOUSE
HOUSTON, TX
The Beer Can House is a unique and quirky landmark located in Houston, Texas. The house was built by John Milkovisch, a retired upholsterer, who began decorating his yard with beer cans in the 1960s. In 1968, he started working on the house itself, using over 50,000 beer cans to create a variety of decorative features.
The exterior of the house is covered in flattened beer cans, which have been cut into various shapes and patterns. The cans are arranged in intricate designs, including flowers, stars, and even a giant Texas flag. Milkovisch also used beer cans to create a fence, a mailbox, and a variety of other outdoor decorations.
Inside the house, visitors can see more beer can decorations, including a chandelier made from pull tabs and a beer can-covered bar. There are also displays showcasing Milkovisch's other hobbies, such as his collection of rocks and marbles.
Today, the Beer Can House is a popular tourist attraction and is maintained by a local non-profit organization. Visitors can take guided tours of the house and learn more about Milkovisch's unique artistic vision. The house is a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of one man, and a must-see destination for anyone visiting Houston.
