Information:


Built: ? - mid 1990's

The alley behind the 1000 block of Mulberry Street, Louisville KY - Ballard, a retiree from American-Standard (a plumbing supplies manufacturer), has decorated the back of his Schnitzelburg house and the shed behind it with an extraordinary variety of bright, mostly plastic, cast-off material: his collection of 2,000 beer caps, carpet samples, a blue rocking horse, hubcaps, scuba flippers, red plastic cups strung eight or so together, little colored plastic bowling pins, and more.
