1. "Minature house?"
Posted by harry on May-13th-02 at 4:39 PM

Rummaging deep in the newsgroups (I do mean DEEP) I ran across this message dated 10/23/1996 about a minature Borden house that could then be purchased. I've seen minature houses on eBay for sale which looked like a cardboard creation. No axe at the doorstep though that I remember. I wonder if this is the same or different.  Tickle's Country Shoppe still appears to be in business in Swansea.

The Lizzie Borden House is a custom - it's a wonderful piece and even has the "ax" by the front doorstep!  You can purchase this at:

Thanks Harry...I never heard of that.

It did make me go look at the list provided by the FRHS as to whats for sale there,  It reminded me of the "GEARY CREATION" offered there:

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS:
BORDEN HOUSE CUT-OUT drawn by Rick Geary - Borden house, barn and fences to cut out and assemble.  Black on white, 8 1/2" x 11", card stock.
   #707        $1.00

Ph# 508-679-1071

BTW:  Seems Harry and I found out independently that the Link to the FRHS is "Under Construction" and not available for access at this time....coincidence?  Or Great Minds Think Alike?
