boom, gloom, return from ruin
Glengallan is not just any old house. Uninhabited for more than half its lifetime, it remains frozen in time. The 1867 two-storey sandstone Glengallan is an iconic heritage place, a rare example of a substantial 19th century country house in Queensland. Glengallan today is a tribute not only to its visionary builder and to 19th Century craftsmen, but also to the 21st Century team that brought it back to life through a delicately balanced restoration that enables the visitor to experience the best and the worst of its times.
