Glenlyon House
Glenlyon House was one of the earliest residences in the Enoggera area. Glenlyon house was a 250 acre block; it was built in the late 1870's
for a man called Alexander Stewart. Alexander Stewart was a partner in the merchant firm of Stewart and Hemmant. When Alexander died in
1918, Glenlyon house was sold and subdivided but the house still remained. Marist Fathers bought Glenlyon House in the early 1930's. It was
named after Alexander's birth place Glen Lyon, in Scotland. Glenlyon House is a two story brick home; it has hand painted ceilings, stain glass
windows and a statue of virgin Mary and a child. This statue used to be a crest of the 'Lions Club' but it was replaced when the Marist fathers
moved in. Glenlyon House is now local heritage and nothing can be done to it.
