Mike Sheahan and Shawn Lewis at Gallagher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows Mike Sheahan and Shawn Lewis in a room inside the Gallagher House. Mike Sheahan is the closer of the two young men to the camera. He is wearing a white and red "Parker Paint" cap, an unbuttoned red and black plaid shirt over a white t-shirt and blue jeans. His body is oriented toward the left-hand side of the image frame, but his head is turned toward the camera. He is looking toward the camera and has his mouth wide open. He is bent forward slightly and his arms are held out to the sides. He is holding a gray object in his hand which appears to be sandpaper. Behind and partially obscured by Mr. Sheahan is Shawn Leiws. He appears to be painting or sanding a wall of the room. An open doorway partially visible at the left-hand edge of the image looks in on a person holding a paint roller and a short ladder with a paint tray on top. A paint tray sitting on top of a white bucket is visible and the bottom of the image between Mr. Sheahan and Mr. Lewis. An open doorway is partially open at the right-hand edge of the image, but the room is too dark to make out anything within it.
Written at the center of the reverse side of this photograph is "Mike Sheahan" and "Shawn Lewis." Written in the lower-right corner of the reverse side of this photograph is the accession number.
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
