Beer Can House
See a modest home transformed by flattened beer cans, metal garlands and handmade yard details. This short folk-art stop rewards close looking, with much of the experience taking place outside.
John Milkovisch’s home turns familiar discarded materials into an intensely personal environment. The repeated cans, reflective surfaces and hanging metal pieces make the building feel different from an ordinary decorated house. Look beyond the famous siding to the handmade landscape details, and allow a little time to notice how light and air change the surfaces.
What to look for
Aluminum beer-can siding
Hanging metal garlands
Handmade concrete and found-object yard details
