"Beginning in the 1970s, avid beer lover John Milkovisch—a retired railroad worker—began covering his house with his empties. Milkovisch spent 18 years on his project, and the result is staggering. Garlands of tin-can lids hang from the roofline and chime when the breeze flows; fences and a large mailbox have been fashioned from cans; and faded Pabst Blue Ribbon and Budweiser labels from cardboard beer cases artistically line the porch. It certainly doesn't blend into its surroundings. Situated on a residential street in The Heights, this glittering bungalow is now surrounded by modern townhouses." - Charu Suri
