Group Photo at Gallagher House, c. 1986. This black and white photograph shows two adults and four children posing on the front steps of the Gallagher House. Nearest to the camera are two boys in Boy Scout uniforms. They each have one foot on the walkway leading to the stairs and one foot on the first stair. The boy on the left has his hands clasped in front of him. Both of these boys are smiling and looking toward the camera. Standing on the second stair are a woman at left and a man at right. The woman has curly hair and is wearing glasses, a cardigan slung over her shoulders, a blouse and a knee-length skirt. She is wearing a cross around her neck. The man is wearing sunglesses, a blazer, a dress shirt, a tie and dark slacks. Standing on the porch behind the man and woman are two boys in Boy Scout uniforms. The boy on the right is wearing a Boy Scouts cap.
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
