In 1876 - 1877 a house was built for Alexander Stewart out of local clay. The land it was built on, was 250 acres, and the house was in the centre of all the land. It is one of the oldest houses in Ashgrove and Brisbane. This house was named Glen Lyon after the birthplace of Alexander Stewart, in Scotland. In 1918 the land was divided up into smaller sections, and in 1930, the Marist fathers who started a school nearby, bought the house. The house is still standing and since then, it has been built to last longer so that people can still see this historical part of Brisbane later on as well.
