Clue:
Climbing a fence
With a gun
Can give you a hole
And not much fun

Answer:
Addison-Gandy Home




History:
This house is located at 104 Prairie Street.
It was built in 1892 for Martha Gandy's grandparents: J.B and Martha Davis Addison. The Mantles and Doors were wood grained by a German Painter known only as ''Mr. Patch", who usually signed his work with his portrait. You could even see his work at the Nat Davis Museum!
The house was given to the Montgomery Historical Society in July 1997.

Fun Story:
Bo Addison went hunting with a friend. When Bo jumped a fence, he put his gun on the barbed-wire fence. Once he was over the fence, he reached for his gun. The trigger was stuck on a barb, and he shot himself in the gut. He survived, and legend says he lived to be 84 years old.
