Prior to the sale of Kelaston in 2003, images were taken of decorative and furniture items that were in the nursing home. These were measured and recorded on a spreadsheet, along with their location and any donor information (if known). Items were then returned, sold or donated, with very few coming to Kooyong for storage.55 digital images of items at Ballarat Nursing Homekelaston home (ballarat), artwork, nameplates, lavinia haymes, inner wheel club of ballarat, buninyong lodge no.23 social club, merline duncan, lucy baldwin, nance walters, ballarat philharmonic singers, thomas e lenthall, ballarat old time dance club, apex, inner wheel wendouree, masonic charity ball committee, waminda trefoil guild, c m edna nunn, william buckland trust, ada charles, anna jane bolte, maureen davey, awards, thomas turnbull, cora turnbull, agnes may tweedie, annie evelyn mcclure, bert boardman
