Glass House (British Columbia)

Intended to be the Browns' home, the unusual construction and fantasy-castle appearance attracted traffic from the adjacent British Columbia Highway 3A (now part of the scenic International Selkirk Loop[2]).

The resulting loss of privacy led to the Browns' establishment of a roadside attraction in the summer months.

The Glass House sits upon solid rock overlooking Kootenay Lake and is constructed of approximately 500,000 empty embalming fluid bottles, which would have otherwise been discarded as waste.

The main floor contains the living room with a large fireplace, the master bedroom, and a kitchen overlooking a terrace.

Additional structures include a wishing well with waterwheel, an archway, a garden shed, a bridge, several towers, and many stone stairs and pathways.
