One woman stands near the left-hand edge of the image, facing toward the right-hand side of the image. She is shown in profile, and she is smiling. She has shoulder-length hair and is wearing a light-colored jacket or blouse. She is holding an aluminum soda can in her right hand. She is shown from the waist up. The boy is standing in the right-hand side of the image and facing the right-hand side of the image frame. He is shown in profile. He is looking toward the top-right corner of the image. He has shoulder-length hair and is wearing a Boy Scout uniform. He is shown from the mid-torso up. The man is standing on the opposite side of the boy, and he is partially obscured by the boy. Only the top half of the man's head and his right arm are visible. This man is wearing sunglasses and a blazer.

This woman has curly hair and is wearing glasses, a knit cardigan over her shoulders, a blouse and a cross necklace. She is shown from the mid-thigh up. She is looking at the other woman and smiling. These people are standing in a room with light-colored walls and a mottled shag carpet. There is a doorway in the wall to the left and one in the wall to the right. Four small signs are visible hanging on the wall.
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
