Gallagher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows the rear and east-facing side of the Gallagher House with the Lacey Museum in the background. A silver hatchback car is parked at the rear side of the Gallgher House with the front end pointing toward the house. A small, light blue pickup truck with a white canopy is visible at the left-hand edge of the image facing roughly toward the camera. A dark green silo or water tower is visible beyond this pickup. Two very tall and one shorter tree are visible on the opposite side of the home from the camera. The lawn between the camera and the Gallagher House is patchy with gravel strewn through, especially near to the camera.
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
