Borden Farmhouse

p1010178

Last summer as I was driving by the Borden farmhouse in Swansea, I noticed that the front door was open and a work van was parked in the yard. This is the farm that Andrew Borden once owned with his partner Almy, and the families shared the house for some time. Andrew eventually bought out his partner and when Andrew died, the farm house went to daughters Lizzie and Emma Borden.

I stood on the street and took these two shots. I found them most interesting as the inside staircase looks original, as does the hardware on the storage door under the stairs. It is but a glimpse into the life of what once was.

Mondo Lizzie Borden, Episode 7: NOT Lizzie Borden

Being a collector of the weird and fabulous as it relates to the Borden case, I have files of these images saved during the past twenty years. And I would like to share them with you now. Laugh, gasp, chuckle, or rage, these photos were all on eBay. For a price. I used to write the sellers and let them know they didn’t have a Lizzie, but soon gave up on that practice. They didn’t care. Even though they were committing fraud by the sale of the image as a true Lizzie Borden. Oh well.

Here we go. Enjoy.
