Wartime Memory of the Radio House
Radio House invites reflection on the power of broadcasting during war and changes of government.
Radio carried news, orders and propaganda in wartime; whoever controlled transmission shaped what listeners could hear. At Radio House on Gonsiori Street, however, distinguish today’s building from earlier broadcasting addresses and wartime studios. Using this exact address as the site of a particular wartime event requires confirmation from building history and archives. The location offers a way to consider the power of information, but the route of any specific historic broadcast cannot be reconstructed from its present façade alone.
