Crustitecture
Go see Wired's article on
Midwestern Grottos while it's still up. Lots of pictures.
Something very odd happened in the Midwest in the early 20th century.
Suddenly, seemingly ordinary people began stockpiling bits of broken glass, rocks, bottles and assorted debris, which they then used to build what are known locally as cement gardens or grottos.
Crusty religious buildings.
