Myrtice Bagley, Margaret Gallagher and Unknown Woman at Gallagher Farm, Unknown Date. This black and white photograph shows three women (Myrtice Bagley, Margaret Gallagher and an unknown woman) standing in front of the Gallagher House when it was located at the southeast corner of what later became Pacific Avenue and Carpenter Road in Lacey, Washington. From left to right is the unknown woman, Margaret Gallagher and Myrtice Bagley. The unknown woman and Ms. Bagley are wearing dark, brimmed hats and long, dark coats. Margaret Gallagher is wearing a similar hat and coat to the two other women, but she also has a crown of flowers on the brim of the hat and a white or light-colored feather boa or fur scarf around her neck. The unknown woman has her left hand in her coat pocket, and all other arms are down at the women's sides. The trunk of a fairly large deciduous tree is along the left-hand edge of the image frame, and the leaves from the tree occupy most of the top-left quadrant of the image. A second deciduous tree with some of the limbs cut off is behind Ms. Bagley. The front side of the Gallagher House is partially visible in the background. One side of a gate and a section of fence are visible in the bottom-right quadrant of the image.
Written on the reverse side of the photo, from left to right, is "Myrtice Bagley," "Margaret Gallagher" and "unknown." Under "Myrtice Bagley" is the number 29. The old accession number is at the top-right corner, and the current accession number is at the bottom-right corner.
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
