Laying Carpet in the Gallagher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows a man kneeling on the carpet in a room of the Gallagher House. The man has dark, curly hair. He is wearing a white polo shirt with a horizontal blue stripe around the chest, blue jeans and white tennis shoes. The man is kneeling and has his hands resting on his thighs. His body is oriented toward the left-hand side of the photo, and his head is turned away from the camera. The carpet he is kneeling on is a mottled brown, and the walls of the room are white. One window and the front door are in the wall on the left-hand side of the image. A black cable is hanging out of a small hole in the wall on the right-hand side of the image. An open doorway just beyond the man kneeling on the carpet shows a small portion of the next room. A window is partially visible in this next room, and the walls in this next room are wood-paneled.
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
