I’m not sure I’m passionate enough about anything to dedicate my entire home to it. But two men in Houston did, resulting in the Beer Can House and The Orange Show.
Retired postman Jeff McKissack so loved the orange that he worked from 1956 to 1980 welding and constructing his home into pathways, exhibits, arenas and walls with mosaic sayings dedicated to the benefits of the fruit.
After his death, a nonprofit was formed to preserve it, and it opened to the public in 1982. In 1984 the foundation commissioned the Fruitmobile, which led to the Houston Art Car Parade.
