History on rear of plaque:
In 1888,  Charles and James Handford embarked on simultaneous projects in Batesville.   Each man chose to build identical Queen Annes directly across the street from one another.   Hiring the same construction crew,  the houses were built at the same time with the crew alternating work between the two.   The two houses once completed were exact copies,  even down to the trim work and mantels.   The Handford-Terry House,  one of the two identical Queen Annes,  still stands today and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

History on rear of plaque:
Wings is an original Eureka springs home built in 1898 by Mr. Ulysses Grant Kelley.   Mr. Kelley owned and operated the Sawmill in Eureka springs.   The present owners,  Ron,  Mary Lou and Heather Evans,  purchased the home in 1978 and restored it.   The home has 2500 sq.ft. and beautiful antique stained glass.   Wings is a Victorian Tour Home with a year-round Christmas theme and is filled with exotic birds housed in beautiful Aviariums created by the noted aviculturist,  Paul Puckett.   These glass cases are ecologically complete units providing an enclosed environment similar to the perfect biological world.   As a result,  the lifespan of these birds may increase by as much as 300%.   This revolutionary concept provides hope for future keeping and breeding of endangered birds.
