Painters at Gallagher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows three men painting an interior room of the Gallagher House. The man nearest to the camera has dark hair and a mustache, and is wearing glasses. He is wearing an off-white short-sleeved button-up shirt and blue jeans. A red handkerchief is hanging out of the back pocket of his jeans. He is dipping a paint roller into a paint tray which is sitting on top of a short ladder. He is looking down at the paint tray and appears to be smiling. The two other men are at the far side of the room painting the wall. The man on the left is standing on the floor and the one on the right is standing on a step stool. Both are facing away from the camera. Both have shoulder-length brown hair and are wearing white and red caps and blue jeans. The man on the left is wearing a gray t-shirt and the man on the right is wearing a red t-shirt. A doorway is visible at the far end of the room, and a window is partially visible at the left-hand edge of the image. The walls are painted white and the ceiling is white acoustic tile.
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
