Ontario teacher spent 1,750 hours building glass bottle house for wife in 1973
In 1973, Canadian teacher Hank Deverell constructed an unusual house in Redditt, Ontario, using approximately 25,000 glass bottles held together with mortar. The ambitious project consumed around 1,750 hours of labour and was originally built to showcase his wife Myrtle's growing doll collection. Over time, the bottle-built property evolved beyond a personal project into a recognised tourist destination. The site attracted visitors from across Canada and internationally, drawn by both its distinctive bottle architecture and Myrtle's doll collection.
