1987-006.056Description
New Floor Coverings at Gallagher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows a man down on all fours working in a very small hallway in the Gallagher House. This image was captured from within a room with mottled brown and tan shag carpet. Scraps of the same carpet are strewn about on top of the laid carpet. A small closet is visible in the upper-left quadrant of the image. This closet is wood-paneled. A small piece of white linoleum is on the floor in this closet, but it is not glued down to the floor. An open doorway is in the wall at the left, and this loks into a room with white and pink wallpaper and a carpet or linoleum with a light-colored marbled design on it. The man is on the right-hand side of the image, and he appears to be lawying a new piece of linoleum in the very short hallway. Through the hallway the man is working in is visible another room with different mottled shag carpeting than seen in the room from which the image was captured. Another open doorway is visible in this room, and a man cutting a piece of carpet is visible through this door.
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
