Summary

Stately residence of Hon J. Hodgkiss, Hove with two women riding sidesaddle near the front entrance. John Hodgkiss (1820-1897) was a businessman and a politician in the early days of the Colony of South Australia. After arriving from England in 1849 he owned businesses in Hindley Street and Rundle Street. He died at his residence, Lawn House, at Brighton. In 1862 he planted river red gums along the driveway to the residence, Frank Hayward House. The house was built in 1860. Minda purchased the property from Hodgkiss' niece and moved in there in 1911. The photograph shows a large two storey brick house with quoins, shutters on all six upper floor windows. A painted striped verandah runs along the front of the house and meets at the portico over the front entrance. The formal gardens are lined with low hedges which divide the geometric flower-filled garden beds.
