      @Haliaeetus I think that the only gorillas that actually lived in this cage were Mok and Moina, who died in 1938 and 1939 respectively. The house was built for them.
      Guy, the zoo's most famous gorilla, lived in the Monkey House until the Sobell Pavilions opened, and I believe that the other gorillas held after his arrival did so too (but not for very long unfortunately). The Round House, as it is also called, has held chimps, orangs and lemurs and I remember seeing fruit bats, a koala and my first aye aye in the indoor area. It is a Grade 1 Listed Building.
