Beer Can House, Folk art house in Rice Military, Houston, USA.

The Beer Can House is a folk art house at 222 Malone Street in the Rice Military neighborhood of Houston, Texas. John Milkovisch covered its walls, roof and yard with flattened beer cans, bottle caps, bottles and other beer ephemera, an estimated total of more than 50,000 cans. Concrete blocks inlaid with rocks and metal form patios, fences and flower boxes around it.

John Milkovisch, an upholsterer for the Southern Pacific Railroad, began the project in 1968 by covering his front and back yards with cement and inlaying rocks and metal in concrete blocks. He then attached flattened beer cans to the house's exterior through the late 1980s. The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art now owns and operates the house.

John Milkovisch watched for beer trucks from his front porch and sent his son to the store after new deliveries; his garage held no fewer than 8 to 10 cases, and he favored Falstaff beer. A wall inside the house carries his words: "They say every man should leave something to be remembered by. At least I accomplished that goal."

The house stands at 222 Malone Street in the Rice Military neighborhood and can be reached by bus or car. It is owned and operated by The Orange Show Center for Visionary Art, which runs the visits. Photography and videography are not permitted inside the house.

John Milkovisch watched for beer trucks from his front porch and went to the grocery store once new deliveries arrived; his son Ronald recalled that he "never had less than 8 to 10 cases stacked up in the garage." He was especially fond of Falstaff beer, whose cans appear among the flattened metal on the house.
