Perhaps you’re not very familiar with the small town of Fall River, Massachusetts. But surely you’ve heard the tale of Lizzie Borden. And if you’re a history buff or fascinated by the grizzly murders which shook the town in 1892, you just might have a shot at owning a piece of history.
Maplecroft, located at 306 French Street, is up for sale. Lizzie Borden lived there after the murders until her death in 1927 at the age of 66. Now, owner Robert Dube has placed the luxurious 14 room home on the market.
Emma and Lizzie purchased the 1889 home for $11,000 back in July of 1893. Emma left in 1905 after a disagreement with her sister. Allegedly, it involved actress Nance McNeil and the nature of her and Lizzie’s relationship.
The asking price is currently $680,000. If you’re seriously interested, you can contact Mr. Dube at (508) 673-8088.
