More Changes to Lizzie Borden’s Maplecroft

The day before the 4th of July was a sort of independence day for Maplecroft. For the first time in many, many years, the house no longer sports the name of the former owner or his business on the front of the house. Taking down those letters is just part of the many restorations that Lizzie Borden’s Maplecroft is undergoing.

The removal of the letters is not a sign of disrespect for the former owner, but quite the opposite. The house now is its own entity. More like it was in days when Lizzie Borden inhabited it. And there are more restorations in store for the old house. Stay tuned to see other wonderful things in the near future!

Here is a short happy video of the removal of the letters. Enjoy!

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.
