[2] The notion of building his artwork began when Dmytro Szylak, a Ukrainian immigrant, retired from General Motors.

After working 32 years, Szylak began to search for a hobby, which led to the creative idea of building Hamtramck Disneyland.

To utilize his spare time, and with the idea of bringing something new to the city, Szylak began to convert his own backyard into a piece of art.

It is a homemade construction built on top of two adjacent garages; a 30-ft. collage filled with pictures of Elvis and other pop stars, year-round Christmas lights, wooden soldiers armed with toy guns, and American flags, among many other things.

[3] In 2006, Bruce Weber shot a photo shoot with Kate Moss for Women's Wear magazine in the site and around various other places in Detroit.

It is decorated with various objects ranging from mechanical fan propellers to plastic horses and a massive handmade jet aircraft.

On the other side of the yard, there stands a windmill which has different cutouts of men and women who appear to be doing manual labor such as cutting a log with a saw and cooking.

[12] The exhibition is located in an alley between Klinger and Sobieski Streets, south of Carpenter Avenue, in Hamtramck, Michigan.
