Conversation in Gallagher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows two women speaking in a room of the Gallagher House, and a girl standing next to them. The woman on the left has short brown hair and is wearing a white blouse and pants. Her head is turned away from the camera, and her body is oriented toward the right-hand side of the image. She is holding a can of Sunkist orange soda in her right hand. To the right of this woman is a second woman. This second woman has shoulder-length brown hair and is wearing tinted glasses, a shirt with broad vertical white and blue stripes, and knee-length white pants. A black purse is hanging over her left shoulder. To the right of the two women is a girl with light brown hair wearing a white button-up shirt with blue, purple and yellow traingles on it and pink pants. This girl is drinking a Sunkist orange soda, looking toward the camera, and smiling. The room these people are standing in is painted white, and there are six small handwritten signs hanging on the walls. Many photos mounted on a board are partially visible at the right-hand side of the image frame. There is an open doorway at the left-hand side of the image, and through this doorway the next room is partially visible. The adjoining room has wood-paneled walls and mottled brown shag carpet.
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
