THE FIRST HOUSE TO BE COMPLETED BY HARRY SEIDLER WAS FOR HIS PARENTS. THE RECTANGULAR MASS OF THE BUILD-ING IS HOLLOWED BY THE OPEN CENTRAL TERRACE AND THE ADJACENT TWO-STOREY WELL WHICH PIERCES THE BUILDING VERTICALLY, ALLOWING LIGHT TO PENETRATE INTO THE OTH-ERWISE DARK CENTRE. FROM THE RECTANGULAR STRUC-TURE, ‘TENTACLES’ REACH OUT AND ANCHOR IT INTO THE SUR-ROUNDING LAND. IN 1988, THE HOUSE WAS ACQUIRED BY THE HISTORIC HOUSES TRUST OF NEW SOUTH WALES AND OPENED TO THE PUBLIC IN ITS ORIGINAL FURNISHED CONDITION.
