The homestead is a long, narrow two-storeyed ashlar sandstone structure, built on an approximately north-south axis, with a hipped corrugated iron roof. The building has double height verandahs to the north, east and south. Both floors have french doors with arched fanlights opening onto the verandahs, with three sets of doors either side of the central entry.
The building was abandoned in the early 1920's and allowed to deteriorate, in 1949 the Anglican Church had plans to dismantle Glengallan and use the materials to build a War Memorial Science Block at the Slade School in Warwick, but this did not eventuate. In 1993 Glengallan House and its surrounding grounds were gifted to the non-profit Glengallan Homestead Trust. The homestead has been refurbished to it's former glory
