Kitchen Stove

Post by dalcanton »

Hello - I visited the Lizzie Borden B&B over 10 years ago & there is one detail that I don't recall from the tour. I remember the kitchen had an old-fashioned stove in it which I think was a replica of the Borden stove at the time. Does anyone familiar with the layout of the kitchen know if the replica stove was placed in the exact same spot (toward southeast corner, I believe) where the original Borden stove was placed? I'm trying to picture where the stove was & where Lizzie stood while burning the infamous dress. If I have my directions correct, was she standing to the left side of the stove near the window? The cupboard was directly above her where the dress was partially hidden? Can someone clear this up for me? I plan on visiting the B&B again in 2015 & was going to ask this question, but I'm anxious for an answer. Thanks!

I've never been. I think Augusta/Shelley has, though. Where are you, Augusta!
