Pisa House
Pisa Range, above Luggate
Eight hundred metres up the Pisa Range, in the path of the nor'wester. The first house to carry the thin steel roof plane, because nothing lighter would have stayed.
The plane is twenty-two metres long and one hundred and eighty millimetres deep. It has not moved.
