Across the street from the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast is the construction site for the new Fall River Courthouse. While Second Street barely resembles what it looked like in 1892, this building will make it even more difficult to imagine. The last image is the courthouse as it will look fronting South Main Street.
Only the Borden house and the Dr. Kelly house next door still stand. Even the layout of Second Street has changed. The Kelly house next door now has a storefront attached to its front. One must use his/her imagination when walking down Second Street to see the way it was in 1892. The Borden house has been spectacularly restored. It is a wonderful bed and breakfast. I highly recommend it!

It's too bad that they couldn't restore the street as a touring destination like they have here in Illinois, with the street where Abraham Lincoln's home is, down in Springfield.
I suppose Mrs. Churchill's house is gone too.
