Description
This is a view of the back of the Hackett House an barns. While James Hackett, his son Arthur and Abraham Stockett constructed the Hackett home in 1910, the remaining family members continued to live in Alameda, Ca. The house first served as a temporary school for the Allensworth community and then functioned as the Hacketts' vacation home. It was not until 1916-1917, that James and Alice Hackett, their son Paul, and their three yougest daughters moved to this town. The family kept their place in Alameda, but entered fully into the community life at Allensworth. They grew extensive gardens and kept chickens, a horse, and a cow. Mr. Hackett also ran a small business from the barn that consisted of selling building materials and other goods. In December of 1932, the original house and neighboring Stockett home were destroved by fire.
