More Things To Do In Pearland
Beer Can House Museum
One of a kind – don’t miss it! John Milkovisch, a retired upholsterer for the Southern Pacific Railroad, started his project now known as the Beer Can House in 1968 when he began inlaying thousands of marbles, rocks, and metal pieces into concrete and redwood to form unique landscaping features. When the entire front and back yard were completely covered because he “got sick of mowing the grass”, he turned to the house itself and began adding aluminum siding…aluminum beer can siding, that is.
Over 50,000 beer cans were used to create this unique edifice. Did he prefer one brand over any other? His favorite beer was always “Whatever’s on special.”
