SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The Detroit News said Sunday a photograph of a frozen waterfall created by a home's burst water pipe inspired Matthew Radune and Gregory Holm to lease a Detroit building that was scheduled for demolition and turn it into the popular art attraction.

"It's grown into something much more than an reference to the housing crisis in Detroit and beyond", Holm said, "and more about the personal quest that this has become and the community that has grown around it."

To create the Ice House, Radune and Holm covered a two-story home with ice, including the shrubs out in front of the property.

The News said the Ice House, the focus of a documentary project that concluded Saturday, will eventually be torn down so its parts can be recycled.

Radune said as part of the project, he and Holm helped a Detroit family gain a home by paying the back taxes on a foreclosed house.

"That was kind of our gift to the city for doing this project in the middle of a neighborhood", Radune said.
