92 Second Street now
Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2012 12:00 pm
I stayed at the Borden house in late August/early September and it was my first break in the United States (I am from Britain). I was very impressed with the way the house had been made to look as it did on the day of the murders. I noticed, though, after I had seen the "92 Second Street now" photos on the website that there had been one or two (only minor) changes since these photo were taken.
I noticed that the tall-legged table in the sitting room had a dark-coloured cloth/mat on the lizzieandrewborden.com photos (almost the same as the cloth in the crime scene photo). But when I stayed at the house, a smaller white cloth was in its place. I am not sure what happened to the other cloth and whether the staff have had difficulty finding a replacement.
One of the Abby Borden crime scene photos shows two ornamental bells on the dresser. I have never seen reproductions of these, so I guess they must have had difficulty finding identical ornaments.
