Austin, Texas - The Cathedral of Junk

What started as a few hubcaps on a fence has become a magnificent obsession of yardist Vince Hannemann for 12 plus years. With every kind of castoff known to man including bicycles, crutches, toys, electrical equipment, and just plain old junk, The Cathedral is a multi-leveled awe-inspiring sight, especially when lit up at night. Ever mutating in its construction, return visits will always provide a new vista. Located in South Austin this mind-blowing attraction is 1 mile north of Scott Stevens' Smut Putt Heaven. Come see the ever growing masterpiece and then go start your own art yard! Contact: cathedralofjunk@hotmail.com [Kickapoo Spidermilk, 07/10/2001]
