After the murder of Andrew and Abbie Borden, Lizzie and Emma Borden never returned to the family home. They bought 306 French Street, in the Highland's neighborhood of Fall River, MA. The 14 room Queen Ann Victorian home was home to LizBeth (as she insisted on being called after her aquittal) from 1894 until her death in 1927.
Emma lived there with LizBeth only for a few years. The sisters had some sort of falling out, Emma left, and the two remained unreconciled for the rest of their lives. Since LizBeth lived in a fancier neighborhood she named her house Maplecroft, which she had inscribed on the front steps.
Unfortunately, LizBeth, although aquitted by the jury, was condemned by the people of Fall River. With her father's money she was finally able to live in a grand house, but she had very few visitors and even less friends.
