Conversation Outside Gallagher House, c. 1986. This black and white photograph shows two men having a conversation alongside the east-facing exterior wall of the Gallagher House. The man on the left is wearing sunglasses, a light shirt and dark tie, a blazer and dark pants. This man is speaking, and his head and body are oriented partially toward the right-hand side of the image frame. The man on the right has longer hair and a beard and is wearing a light-colored dress shirt. His arms are crossed and he is facing toward the other man. Only the left-hand side of his head is visible. The Gallagher House is on the right-hand side of the image, and the Lacey Museum is visible in the background. Several cars are parked in front of the museum.
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
