Cathedral of junk


In a small suburban backyard in Austin, Texas lies a structure made of lawn mowers, car parts, kitchen utensils, ladders, and pretty much anything else you can think of. It began in 1988 when its architect, Vince Hannemann, started building a clubhouse out of junk, which today he estimates measures over 60 tons of it. Visitors inquire about its significance, but Vince denies any profound meaning. He just did it for fun. He's happy to show visitors its climbing spires of trash and greenery should they be curious enough to come and see it.
