Beer Can House: Texas Home Made with 50,000 Cans

Houston's Beer Can House is an incredible feat of recycling - and it has finally been given its due recognition by being designated as a local landmark.

The home is the work of the late John Milkovisch, who began his foray into beer décor in the 1970s by cutting and flattening saved beer cans to emulate aluminum siding.

The project then grew expanded to include reclaimed beer cans and bottles all over the property, including glittering cascades of can tops and walls of inlaid recycled glass inside and out.

Visitors can now visit the upcycled paradise, which is run by non-profit Orange Show Center for Visionary Art.
