Beer Can House Fix-Up Funds Landed by Orange Show
John Milkovisch spent 18 years dutifully drinking beer to provide the raw materials to create walls, archways, and flip-tab curtains. The Orange Show plans to study how his design evolved over time, and may restore some of the earlier features.
Many of the aluminum can structures and arrangements have weathered, faded, and rusted.
Though the house is increasingly surrounded by towering condos, the Orange Show plans to keep the house at its current location at 222 Malone Street. The repairs are planned for completion by late 2006. [Thanks for the heads up from Jennifer, Greg, Laird, Mark, Tom...] [03/19/2005]
