Cintra House

Situated on the side of a Brisbane riverside hill, between the former Cloudland and historic home Miegunyah is the lovely twin-verandah home originally known as Cintra.

It was constructed in 1863 at Bowen Hills for George Webb and the Georgian influence in the design came from architect Benjamin Backhouse.

In subsequent years it has been owned (from 1877) by Premier of Queensland, BD Morehead (1888-1890). He added the ornate balconies. In later life it became a convent attached to the adjacent Our Lady of Victories Church and in the 1980s it was fully restored and became an art gallery under the auspices of well-known Queensland developer, Noel Kratzmann. In 1987 Cintra again became a private home.
