Housewife Lee Bee Leong, 45, said that she remembers the Glass House from the early 2000s, especially the "Love" sculpture that used to be situated just outside the Glass House. "We used to go there and take pictures all the time. It was iconic in its own way," she said.
The blue-green sculpture with a tilted "O" was commissioned by Wing Tai Land in 1993 and cost $370,000. It was the largest produced by American pop artist Robert Indiana then.
