Wireless House

Commissioned in November of
1934, the Wireless House was
officially opened in February
1935. A wireless set was donated by
Grace Brothers, Broadway, operated
from 10am until 10.15pm on a
daily basis until the 1960s.

In 2009 the Wireless House was
“sonically re-activated” by the artist
Dr Nigel Helyer. As proposed by
Helyer, the site includes a free
wireless internet connection, sensor
activated audio and a website.

Recordings that can be heard have
been provided by the National Film
and Sound Archive and by members
of the Glebe Community’s Glebe
Bytes Oral History Group.
