In 1956, Houston postman Jeff McKissack
obtained a building permit for a beauty
parlor. Sometime later, he added to the
bottom of the permit the words "Beauty
parlors going out of sle - have better idea
- The Orange Show."
McKissack s "better idea" is a concrete
fantasyland created found objects by the
late postman over a twenty-five year period.
The hand-made structure illustrates the
importance of McKis~ck's favorite fruit,
good health and hardwork. It is recognized
as one of the great monuments to the
human drive to create art and represents the
