Cutting Carpet in Gallagher House, c. 1986. This color photograph shows a man kneeling down and cutting a large piece of carpet in a room of the Gallagher House. The man has brown curly hair and is wearing a yellow, blue and white plaid western-style shirt with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows. He is wearing blue jeans and gray and white tennis shoes. The man's body is oriented toward the right-hand side of the image and his face is pointing toward the floor. A portion of his right cheek and the tip of his nose are the only visible parts of his face. The room is wood-paneled with white trim. The bottom of a window is visible at the center-top of the image.
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
