As they say, "What once was old is new again."
Beer bottle houses weren't uncommon in the late 1800's and early 1900's in the mining towns of the American deserts. There wasn't enough water to make bricks, and wood was scarce and needed for other purposes.
But where there are men, there is beer. So beer bottles were used to build homes. I've seen at least four, including one preserved by the State of Nevada in a ghost town outside Beatty.
