Gallagher House Photo Display, c. 1986. This black and white photograph shows two display panels bearing 39 photographs of the Gallagher House exterior and interior. Text on the right-hand panel reads "THE GALLAGHER HOUSE." Several of the images have smaller text labels for the photos, but these are too small to read in this image. There two display panels are sitting on the bottom of a window sill. The top of the window is visible above the panels. There is one small sign partially visible hanging on the wall to the left of the panels, and the three small signs fully visible to the right of the panels. A push-button light switch is visible on the wall to the right of the panels, and a doorway is partially visible at the right-hand edge of the image.
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
