Escaping a distance outside of Montreal, we just heard about the Bottle Houses at Prince Edward Island. And we thought we'd seen glass bottles reused before...
Escapes: Les Maisons de Bouteilles
The Bottle Houses were started in 1980 and include the six-gabled house, tavern, and a chapel. What a way to reuse a very large quantity of glass bottles - and it makes for quite a beautiful quality of light on the interiors.
More AT bottle reuse suggestions (albeit on a smaller scale):

I take it they don't have hurricanes or earthquakes there, because that would be a messy death.
But cool (if you don't).

Just to qualify, PEI would be about 500 miles/800 KM's from Montreal, give or take (just in case people think they can make a day trip).

Fascinating, in a gimmicky sort of way. Would look nice on a bypassed loop of Rte 66 next to the 'worlds largest ball of twine'.

I might be traveling there next summer--must put them on the list. That's a lot of bottles.
