Description
This was a home in Ft Worth Texas. I was a site to see! The man that lived here had collected beer cans for years and ran out of room to put them in his house so he started hanging them in a tree in the front yard. The house was eventually sold to make way for a modern development. It was such a sad event that there was actually a story about it on the local news.
" Louis is the resident at 2901 Whitmore St., otherwise known as the "Beer Can House." For years he's been drinking Milwaukee's Best and Miller Lite, and repurposing the cans to decorate his yard. Strands of aluminum cover the fence, and some reach as high at 30 feet in his biggest trees. Many of the cans he's even cut to look like lanterns."
