Amazing what some people do in their spare time. We took pictures of the outside. The inside is somewhat sparse but had a little history of the former owner who decorated the house. There are no beer cans inside.

We did not tour the property. Just drove by one evening. It's still quite a site from the outside. Take your camera :)

I wouldn't make a special trip but if in the memorial area, stop by for a view and a well laid out exhibit inside. Walk through of house in the inside took about 15 mins. Interesting background presented on former owners and creator. Unique. Different.

This is a neat place to see. We didn't take the tour but it was neat to just drive by and look at. I mean how often do you see a beer can house?

We live in Houston and found this place on a local website. It's in a neighborhood surrounded by other homes. You can park on the street and pay your fee in the small garage building at the end of the driveway. The guy that took our money gave us a personal tour of the outside of the house because no...

I see this years before it is what it is today! Never thought a bunch of beer cans could go so far.. Take the tour I hear it's great!

This is one of the cool and fun things that only Texas can get away with having. The thing that most fascinated me about this house was all the work and time it must have taken to cut up those beer cans and wire everything together. The pictures are exactly what you will see.
