Statement of Significance
1. "Colinetta" , built c1873 and extended or rebuilt in 1884, has historical significance for its associations with Clement Hodgkinson, an important 19th century garden designer associated with a number of public gardens including the Treasury, Fitzroy and Carlton Gardens. The Hodgkinson family lived at "Colinetta" from the mid 1880s until c1903. It is additionally significant for the occupation by Phillip Adams, advertising man and social commentator.
2. Once an important part of the Harcourt Street streetscene, now altered and no longer visible, but still making a contribution to the wider precinct.
3. Requires on-site inspection to determine date and extent of addition.

Colinetta - Physical Description 1
Only the side view is visible from the street. Reports from the owner in the 1960s indicate that the verandah to the original Harcourt Street elevation is a replacement of the original. A 1920s photo indicates a flat front form with double bay window about the central door. The wide elevation is fully covered by a flat verandah, (not adjusted to the profile of the bay windows), which returns on each side. Paired columns, concave brackets and a mannerist pediment at the entrance all point towards a late 1870s design and not impossible as 1874. The existing verandah does not conform with the details of the 1920s photo.
The 1920s photo indicates a building presently located on the high ground but set well back from the street to allow for a substantial garden. This context has been lost by the subdivision of the corner allotments.
