History: From the 1890's to the 1990's the kauri lake House stood at the northern end of Takapuna Beach and frunctioned as a family home and a beachside boarding house. After changing ownership a number of times Lake House was finally gifted to North Shore City by  Mr Bob Green in 1996. It was relocated in that year to the Barry's Point Reserve.

The House is now known as Lake House Arts Centre. Studios are let to a variety of artisits and meeting rooms are also available for hire.  the gallery has a diverse range of exhibitions which change every three to four weeks. The naval Barrack Building has recently been relocated from Devonport to this site making this an historic must see on the shore.
