Francis and William Gallagher at Gallagher Farm, unknown date. This black and white photograph shows Francis Gallagher and William Gallagher standing outside the Gallagher House when it was located at what later became the intersection of Pacific Avenue and Carpenter Road. Francis Gallagher is standing on the left and William Gallagher is standing on the right. Francis is looking toward the camera, and William is looking toward the left-hand side of the image. Francis has short hair and is wearing a dress shirt, a wide tie, a hip-length coat and dark pants. His arms are hanging at his sides and he is smiling. William has dark, slicked-back hair and is wearing a v-neck sweater over a dress shirt and tie. This sweater appears to have a number one on the left-hand side of the chest. He is also wearing light-colored slacks. William's hands are in his pockets. A portion of the back and one side of the Gallagher House are visible behind the two men. A portion of the house's chimney is visible in the top-right corner of the image.
Written on the reverse side of the photograph is "Francis (Sy) & Bill Gallagher."
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
