Beer Can House

Folk-art landmark — a Rumsey Street house that John Milkovisch clad in an estimated 50,000 flattened beer cans from 1968 onward. Now preserved by the Orange Show Center for Visionary Art.

What works here

Shoot from the public sidewalk — the can siding shimmers in direct sun and the dangling can garlands move in any breeze. Side-on light makes the metal sparkle. The interior is tour-only.
