  The Dr. J. W. S. Gallagher House is a 1913 Prairie School house in Winona, Minnesota, United States, designed by the architectural firm of Purcell & Elmslie. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for having local significance in the theme of architecture.
  
  ## Description
  
  The Dr. J. W. S. Gallagher House is essentially rectangular, with a gabled porch on the side and another on the rear. It is two stories with side gables, a low-pitched roof, and wide eaves. The house has stucco walls with cypress trim. Architectural details include a five-sided bay window on the northeast corner, sawn wood decorations, and came glasswork windows. It was nominated for being a well-preserved example of the modest residential commissions that typified Purcell & Elmslie's work, despite their acclaim for more prominent projects such as Merchants National Bank in downtown Winona.
