In the late 1960s, a Washington art teacher collected car doors, washing-machine windows and scrap appliances: He turned the junk into a 1,200-square-foot castle for reportedly less than $500

A high school art teacher in Pullman, Washington, spent the final years of the 1960s collecting other people's discarded washing machine glass, car doors and sheets of twisted metal, then welded and bolted the pile into a 1,200-square-foot castle perched on a hillside above the wheat fields of the Palouse. The finished structure, built for a reported total of $500, still stands today on private property along US 195, more than five decades after its creator first started scavenging.
