In the late 60s John Milovisch’s interest was shifting away from upholstery and toward creatng what is now referred to as the “Beer Can House” at 222 Malone Street. John started his project in 1968 inlaying thousands of marbles, rocks, brass figures and metal pieces in concrete blocks and redwood, all of which were used to make patios, fences, flower boxes, etc. The result was a yard with no grass. The entire front and back was covered with cement. When asked why he did it, John simply answered, “I got sick of mowing the grass.” (2006-07-01 09:44:51)
