One of Houston’s most popular landmarks, the Beer-can House was built by John Milkovisch, a retired upholsterer. The project began in 1968 when, because he was getting tired of mowing the lawn, he began playing with, rocks, marbles, metal and concrete to create a beautiful landscape. Then he turned his eye on his house, which he eventually covered with flattened beer cans that he, his wife and his neighbors had drunk.

The thing John Milkovisch loved about the Beer-can House was that people would just stop and stare at his creation when they drove-by and they only left to come back with more friends. The Beer-can House has been restored over the years and preserved as an important local landmark.
