1987-006.028Description
Snack Table at Gallagher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows a long folding table with hors d'oeuvres, snack vegetables, a metal coffee dispenser and three vases of flowers on it. A white, lace tablecloth is covering the table. This table is in a room of the Gallagher House. The table is set up in front of a double window along a wall on the left-hand side of the image. A woman wearing a white knitted cardigan and dark blue pants is partially visible facing away from the camera at the right-hand edge of the image frame. Three small, hand-written signs are on the far wall, and one is on the same wall as the windows. None of these signs are readable.
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
