Gallagher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows a man and a boy carrying a large white bag of what appears to be potting soil through the area between the Gallagher House and the shed immediately to the west of the house. The man is on the left, and he is wearing a blue button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up past the elbow and blue jeans. The boy is on the right, and he is wearing a light blue or gray t-shirt and blue jeans. The man and the boy are walking away from the camera. The ground between the house and the shed is freshly-turned earth. There is a small plant which appears to be a rhododendron planted approximately two feet from the side of the house's front porch. A railroad tie is laying on the ground in the lower-right corner of the photo. A light blue pickup truck is visible in the background, and it is partially obscured behind the man and the bag of potting soil.
The reverse side of this photograph is blank aside from the accession number in the lower-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
