Michigan's 60,000-bottle house built in 1941 is now a museum

In 1941, John Makinen ingeniously built a home in Kaleva from 60,000 repurposed glass bottles sourced from his own bottling factory. This Bottle House, with its vibrant glass bottle walls and distinctive design, draws curious visitors. Acquired by the Kaleva Historical Society in 1983, it serves to maintain the site's historical relevance while providing insights into local Finnish-American heritage.
