Now, the Memorial Park area of town is an up-scale, trendy (very expensive) part of town with lofts and condos. Johns old house doesn't quite fit in. BUT, a non-profit art group now owns the house and is determined to save it as a piece of original folk art and I think it's a good thing. It's been restored and is now open to the public.
I, often, made trips through that area when I lived in Houston and I know Donnie has visited that part of town too but I don't remember him mentioning the beer can house. I think the next time he visits Houston he should take a few pictures.
In the meantime, here's a good video that gives you a chance to see this masterpiece of art.
