Abstract
Cintra House is a heritage-listed villa at 23 Boyd Street, Bowen Hills, Queensland, Australia. It was built from 1863 to 1890s. It is also known as Cintra. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. (Wikipedia)
Originally part of ‘Cintra House’, ‘Cintra’ was constructed as an extension wing in 1880 for its eminent resident, Brisbane businessman and politician Boyd Dunlop Morehead. It was designed by architect James Cowlishaw, who owned the adjacent ‘Montpelier’. The residence was occupied by some of Brisbane’s prominent citizens in the early twentieth century, before ‘Cintra House’ and ‘Cintra’ were divided and sold separately in 1925. ‘Cintra’ was purchased by one of Cowlishaw’s daughters, Charlotte de Little, who had additions and alterations made to the house in the late 1920s. Sold to the Plant family in 1957, ‘Cintra’ became the North Brisbane Private Hospital in 1966, but was reclaimed as a private residence in 1989. ‘Cintra’, a single storey Victorian rendered masonry building with a prominent rendered gable, wide verandahs and a decorated, symmetrically placed portico, reflects the appeal of Bowen Hills for affluent residents from the mid-nineteenth century.
