Beer Can House. Houston, Texas. May 28, 2009.


Over the course of a lifetime the owner of this home created aluminum siding one beer can at a time. In the process he created a world famous folk art tourist attraction!

The home is located at 222 Malone near memeorial Park in an otherwise sedate and upscale neighborhood.

This is one of those images that would appear in an alternative weekly newspaper about an artist or musician. Better still, here I am contemplating all of the unique and interesting things I will see on my upcoming trip around the world. Hope you visit often as I want to share it all with you.

Live By The Golden Rule! Or the aluminum rule.

A shot from the shade of nearby trees belies the fact that it was tifiling hot and humid on this typical Houston, Texas day!
