Lizzie Borden took an axe... Everyone knows Lizzie Borden's story she was the OJ of 1892. When Lizzie Borden's tight fisted miser father and stepmother were killed in Fall River Lizzie and her sister Emma became wealthy heiresses. The sisters moved from the home where the murders took place. They built a 14 room mansion in a fashionable neighborhood in the hills of Fall River, Massachusetts. Lizzie named the house Maplecroft. The new home had all the modern conviences the sisters had lived without such as central heating, running water and bathrooms. Lizzie then started going by the name Lizbeth. The local society of Fall River snubbed her so she shopped in Providence and Boston. Emma and Lizbeth had a falling out after several years. Emma moved out to live with a friend after an arguement about Lizzie's "friend" Nance O'Neill an actress. Lizzie spent the rest of her life living in Maplecroft alone with exception of her servants.
The house where Andrew and Abby Borden is now a bed and breakfast. It is supposed to haunted. Maplecroft is still on French St in the hills of Fall River and it is now for sale. It is on the market for $650,000. For a little of half million dollars you could live in the home Lizzie lived in until 1927 when she died.
