Gallagher House and Lacey Museum, c. 1986. This color photograph shows The Gallagher House and Lacey Museum. The east- and north-facing sides of the buildings are visible. The shed adjacent to the Gallagher House is obscuring a portion of the east-facing side of the Gallagher House. The Lacey Museum is at the center of the image, and the Gallagher House is on the left-hand side of the image. Several very tall trees are visible scattered across the landscape, and one of these is partially obscuring the museum. A grassy field occupies approximately the bottom half of the image. In the foreground is a small pile of sawdust.
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
