Borden Farmhouse

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.
