Gallagher House, c. 1986. This black and white photograph shows the Gallagher House after it was moved from the Southeast corner of Carpenter Road and Pacific Avenue in Lacey, Washington to a spot adjacent to the Lacey Museum in 1985. The image was captured from the lawn in front of the house, with the southeast corner of the home being nearest to the camera. A small, nearly leafless deciduous tree is growing in the front lawn of the house, just to the right of the vertical center of the image near the bottom. A large fern is growing immediately next to the house at the corner nearest to the camera. An open field backed by a fence is visible in the background near the right-hand edge of the image. A tall coniferous tree is visible in the background at the left-hand edge of the image.
The reverse side of this photograph is blank aside from the accession number.
The Gallagher House was built in either late 1896 or early 1897 at what later became the intersection of Carpenter Road and Pacific Avenue in Lacey, Washington, most likely by William B. Chamberlin. By 1900, the home had been repossessed by Alameda Rowe, the original owner of the land on which the home was built. Rowe turned the house and the adjoining property over to relatives in 1902, who then sold the house and property to Cornelius and Anna Gallagher in 1908. The Gallaghers lived in the home until Cornelius passed away in 1950. The house then changed hands to Harold and Millie Crass, who then sold it to Abner and Hazel Hukee in 1959. In 1985, the house was donated to the Lacey Historical Society, who moved the house to a piece of property adjacent to the Lacey Museum on Lacey Street. The house was subsequently rented out by the Lacey Historical Society until it was sold to a private buyer in 2018.Made/Created
