48 Lake Street
The house, as the posters see it
Escape This’s artwork of the house: rather more derelict than the real 48 Lake Street, which is heritage-listed, more than a century old and very well kept. It would like you to know that.
A Tour of the House
Room by room, tenant by tenant, in the order they moved in.
