Kamesburgh: From home to hostel, is an exhibition tracing the rich history of one of Bayside's heritage buildings from 1874-1920. Including an overview of the lives of the owners, architect and builder, the exhibition investigates the transition of the house into a home for incapacitated ex-servicemen following the First World War.
