A house covered in beer cans has become a folk legend in Houston. Will it now become a historic monument?
When John Milkovisch finished his beer, he saved the cans, carefully slicing off their tops and bottoms and flattening them... "When he had enough, he used them to sheath his Malone Street bungalow in aluminum and steel, vowing never to paint again. He hung can-top curtains from his eaves to block the sun and enclosed the property in a fence of cans, bottles and marble-studded boards... Later this month, a Texas Historical Commission official will visit the house to determine its eligibility for listing in the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places."
