High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Daniel Van Meter was an eccentric, best known for his Tower of Wooden Pallets that became a cultural historic monument. Van Meter was life-long bachelor. He had no career and held odd jobs throughout his life. He was once called as a witness in a murder trial since he found what was left of the victim while going through a trash bin in search of cardboard boxes. He always claimed that if it weren't for eccentric people like him gathering junk (sometimes known as "historical memorabilia") there wouldn't be any need for museums. Van Meter later lived on Magnolia Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, California. He had purchased the property in 1947 and by 1988 was the only house left on the block. The area had been fully developed into condominium complexes, a fire station, a private school and office buildings. It is near the Sepulveda Dam Recreational Area. Van Meter and his brothers had turned the property into a type of junkyard.
