Painter at Gallgher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows a young man painting an interior wall of the Gallagher House. The young man is wearing a white and red cap which reads "Parker Paint" on top and "SPREAD IT..." on the back. His hair is brown and shoulder-length. He is wearing a red t-shirt, blue jeans and white tennis shoes. He is facing away from the camera, and is standing on a small platform. Only a small portion of the platform is visible along the bottom edge of the photo. He is painting along the top edge of the ball with a small brush. The wall is white, and the ceiling is white acoustic tile. A doorway is immediately beyond the young man.
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
