Elizabeth Gallagher on Horse at Gallagher Farm, 1913. This black and white photograph shows Elizabeth Gallagher sitting side-saddle on a horse in front of the Gallagher House. Ms. Gallagher and the horse are both facing toward the left-hand side of the image frame. Both are shown in profile. Ms. Gallagher is wearing a light-colored shirt with a scarf or tie. She is also wearing a long skirt. Her hair is tied back. The image was captured from across the dirt road in front of the home. This road occupies approximately the bottom 1/6 of the image. Beyond the road is a metal mesh fence with wooden posts and a wooden gate. Ms. Gallagher and the horse are on the far side of the gate. Visible beyond Ms. Gallagher and the horse is the Gallagher House. Two tall deciduous trees (honey locust) are in front of the home. One large evergreen tree is at the left-hand side of the image, and another is at the right-hand side. A smaller building (wood shed) is visible near the right-hand edge of the image below the branches of the evergreen tree on that side.
This photograph is mounted on an 11 3/4" x 14" dark gray mat backing. Contextual information on the photograph is mounted on the reverse side of the backing mat (see attached image 2 of 2). The accession number is in the bottom-right corner of the paper bearing this contextual information.
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
