Two Point Perspective: the Glass House

In this podcast, presenters Rebecca Hawcroft and Kieran McInerney go to a well-known Sydney house from the 1950s, but one very few people will have visited.

It's the Glass House (also known as the Lucas House) by Bill and Ruth Lucas. They meet current residents, Anthony Gill and Sarah McSpadden, and talk with Peter Lonergan - a Lucas expert and the somewhat reluctant custodian of the Bill Lucas archive.
