This house is the life-long achievement of its former resident, John Martin Milkovisch. In 1968, Milkovisch began paving over his yard with concrete blocks and redwood inlaid with rocks, brass figures, marbles and metal pieces because he was “sick of mowing the grass.”
After he finished with the yard, he continued with the house. Every square inch of the exterior of the house was covered with a veneer made from discarded beer cans. The use of beer cans even extended to the fencing and mailbox.
After his death, the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art purchased the house to preserve it. After rehabilitating the home, they plan on opening it for public tours.
