Statue gone from Maplecroft.

Lizzie Borden’s Maplecroft, More Changes Afoot

There are more changes afoot to Lizzie Borden’s Maplecroft.

I am pleased to announce that the new owner has removed the statue from under the rhodadendran bush on the east side of the house.

The statue was not original to the house and was placed there by the last owner, Robert Dube.

Alas, people believed that it was Lizzie’s. It was not. And now it is no more. Another move in the right direction.


 

In ADDITION to this change, Lizzie’s wrought iron fence, separating her property from 328 French Street, a house she owned the year before she died, has been straightened!

The owner of 328 French graciously fixed the terrible slant by shoring up the fence a bit. The fence is still in need of restoration, but that is for another day. At least the fence doesn’t look drunk anymore!

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.
