Gallaher House, octagon house in Bridgeport, Washington, United States

The Gallaher House is an eight-sided, three-story wooden house of 2,125 square feet, built by James Madison Kinney and completed in spring 1914. Its twelve rooms, with nine-foot ceilings, are oddly shaped because of the octagonal plan, and a circular staircase leads to the second floor, where eight small bedrooms sit; two more bedrooms are on the first floor. Some windows hold stained glass in yellow, green and red.

James Madison Kinney began building the house in 1912 and finished it in spring 1914 for his daughter Ruth, her husband David Clyde Gallaher and their four children. Ruth stayed until 1942, and her son Huston and his wife Lois lived there until 1948, after which it housed employees and temporary workers. Vacant from the 1970s, it was sold to RB "Bun" Allen and moved to Bridgeport in 1993; the National Register listing of 1975 was amended in 1995 after the move.

The house is named for Ruth Kinney and David Clyde Gallaher, for whom James Kinney built it; their sons Huston and David and daughters Henry and Mabel grew up in its eight small upstairs bedrooms. Stained glass in yellow, green and red remains in some windows. In 2006 Pateros paid a deposit to move the house there as a visitors center, but the city council abandoned the plan on August 21, 2006 despite a $140,000 state grant.

The house now stands in Bridgeport, to which it was moved in 1993 from Dyer Hill, 12 miles northwest of Mansfield. The building is a private residence, so it is viewed from the road rather than toured inside. Its eight-sided plan makes the upstairs bedrooms irregular in shape, and the circular stair to the second floor is narrow.

The building boards arrived by train in Mansfield and were hauled to Dyer Hill by horse and wagon. In 2006 Pateros paid an earnest-money deposit to move the house there as a visitors center, but the council abandoned the plan on August 21, 2006, despite a $140,000 state transportation grant.
