Agnes Keith House, Colonial house museum in Sandakan, Malaysia
The wooden colonial residence displays authentic 1940s furnishings across two floors, featuring period furniture, photographs, and personal items of Agnes Keith.
The residence served as home to American writer Agnes Keith from 1934 until 1942, when Japanese forces occupied Sandakan during World War II.
The museum exhibits demonstrate the life of English colonials in North Borneo through original artifacts, letters, and first editions of Agnes Keith's books.
The Department of Sabah Museum maintains the site, which opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with entrance fees of RM20 for Malaysian adults and RM150 for foreigners.
The structure incorporates architectural elements from the British colonial period, with wide verandas and large windows designed for natural ventilation in tropical weather.
