'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.
