History
The house was constructed in 1899 as the home for John Killough Stewart, the son of clothing merchant Alexander Stewart, who built the nearby house Glen Lyon in 1876.
Grantuly was sold to F. J. Moore, who sold it to Roman Catholic Archbishop of Brisbane James Duhig in 1924. In 1925, Duhig gave the house to the Sisters of Charity to use as their convent as they established St Finbar's School. In 1928, the school expanded to include a secondary school called Grantuly College. In 1941, the secondary school was renamed Mount St Michael's College to reflect the need for a "warrior angel" to protect the school during World War II.
Present day
In 2015, Grantuly is the administration centre of St Michael's College.
