The New York Times writes about the Beer Can House in Houston, a landmark created by John Milkovisch, an upholsterer for the Southern Pacific Railroad. From 1968 to 1988 he drank 50 000 cans of beer – and used the empties to decorate his house. It has now been restored at a cost of $400,000, and it is open to the public.
The article does not say if refreshments are available or how the restoration costs got that high.
