Maplecroft boasts beautiful wood paneling, several fireplaces, and a legacy like no other home in Fall River. Maplecroft would be Lizzie's home for over 30 years (until her death in 1927), no other owner would reside there as long.If Mr. Dube should find a buyer for Maplecroft, hopefully it will be someone who is sensitive to the homes history and someone who will work to preserve it.
In fact, despite their wealth, and their new home in the fashionable Highlands, the Borden's were more or less shunned by Fall River society. A disagreement between the sisters resulted in Emma leaving in 1905, never to return.
A two story addition and a wrap around porch were added in 1909. A garage was added in 1911.
Emma and Lizzie Borden purchased the house at 7 French Street from Charles M. Allen in July of 1893 for $11,000*. The sisters apparently moved there that Fall. Lizzie christened the home Maplecroft and had the name chiseled into the top step leading to the front door (something the society folks considered quite in bad taste!)
You're not familiar with the Charles M. Allen house? That's probably because its second owner christened it with the name by which it is more recognizably known, Maplecroft.
Maplecroft?!
That's right, the beloved home of Lizzie Borden is once again for sale according to a recent post on Mondo Lizzie Borden! Maplecroft's current owner Robert Dube who purchased the home in 1980 is looking for close to $700,000 for the Fall River landmark.
Does your current home feel oppressive and cramped? Is your home not in the 'best' of neighborhoods? Would you just kill for a larger, more prestigious home, in the fashionable section of town?
Have I got the house for you!
The Charles M. Allen house in Fall River's Highland section is once again for sale. The 14 room house, located on French Street, sits on a large city lot. The house was built in about 1889 and is one of Fall River's most famous homes.

Indeed houses of history need to stay preserved for all time I believe.
