Gallagher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows the Gallagher House after it had been moved next to the Lacey Museum on Lacey Street. The front of the house is shown, as well as the east-facing side of the house and a portion of the shed located immediately west of the house. The earth surrounding the house and shed appears to be freshly turned. An area of grass is visible between the camera and the turned earth. The sky is clear and it is a sunny day. Shadows of tree branches are visible on the house and the ground in front of the home. A no trespassing sign is visible on the porch column to the right of the two stairs leading to the porch. A red or orange SUV is visible in the far background near the left-hand edge of the photo.
Written on the reverse side of this photo near the upper-left corner is "ours." The accession number is written on the reverse side in the bottom-right corner.
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
