Lizzie Borden’s Maplecroft Painting Complete

The headline here is an assumption on my part, of course. But a great deal of work has been done on this grand home that it looks finished….

The garage is even sporting new panels and facia boards!

The house has been painted a pale yellow with white trim. According to Borden historian Bill Pavao, when Lizzie and Emma purchased the home in 1893 it was a buff color. I suppose pale yellow is kind of close!

The house looks light years better than it did just a few weeks ago. And, yes, it is still for sale. But the owner is selling it himself. It is no longer carried with any agent.

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.
