Gallagher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows four children doing landscaping work outside the Gallagher House after the house had been moved next to the Lacey Museum off of Lacey Street. The shed portion of the house is at the right-hand side of the image. The house itself is not shown in this image. The four children are all male. Three of these children are working with steel rakes while the fourth is operating a roto-tiller. The roto-tiller itself is almost totally obscured behind two of the children working with rakes. All of the children are wearing blue jeans. The child nearest to the camera is wearing a red plaid shirt. The child second nearest to the camera is wearing a white or light gray t-shirt tucked into his jeans. The child third nearest to the camera is wearing a baseball-cap style blue and white hat, a blue vest and a blue long-sleeved shirt under the vest. The child furthest from the camera is wearing a sweater with a red torso portion and white sleeves. A man is watching the children work. The man is wearing a blue baseball-style cap, a green and white or green and yellow football-style shirt, and blue jeans. Parked in the background is a dark teal pickup truck with a matching canopy. Two homes are partially visible in the background.
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
