Photos of The Bottle Houses of Prince Edward Island

Bottle Houses Photo Gallery > Reviews > R.V. Lifestyle

RV lifestyle - The next day took us from the historic to the eclectic, as we drove to Wellington then on to Cap Egmont to see PEIs unique bottle houses. Inspired by a post-card, the late Edouard Arsenault began collecting bottles in the late 1970s and in the spring of 1980, at the age of 66 and with more than 25,000 bottles piled up on his property, began constructing a house from them. One house became three and today, the site attracts tourists from all over the world. Almost as impresive as the buildings themselves are the magnificent gardens on site, over looking the ocean. Mr. Arsenault passed away in 1984, but the property is maintained today by his daughter, Rejeanne.
