When you look on google maps, you can see the museum is very close to the Cowcaddens Subway Station in the Glasgow SPT (Strathclyde Partnership for Transport). Interesting is when you read about the Glasgow Subway online, you learn and can see that the carriages and tracks are smaller than what most of us are probably used to. So even though Ms. Toward's home is not a microunit, it might still be a cool trip to combine the experience of the small carriages of the Glasgow Subway with taking in an example of a relatively small flat and how people lived in it.
