The house is located on a hill and has been turned into a museum since 2001, organized by the Sabah Museum Department. Agnes became famous due to her literary work, her first book "Land Below the Wind," made her famous in 1939 and this book has made Sabah famous until today. The book was written clearly and humorously, describing life, especially among the local people during British rule. After that, she wrote two more books entitled "Three Came Home" in 1946 and "White Man Returns" in 1951. Both books were written in this house. The locals still consider Agnes as the "Ambassador" to Sabah, also known as the "Land Below the Wind," through her literary works. Her books are still widely read all over the world.
