The Lizzie Borden house is located in the city of Fall River in Bristol County, Massachusetts. The city gained a reputation as being the leading textile manufacturing center in the U.S. during the 19th century. In the present day, however, it is more notably recognized as the location of the Lizzie Borden murder house. Stepping through the entryway, there’s the parlor to the left of the front door, the stairs that lead to the second level on the right, and a path leading into the sitting room straight ahead (the sitting room is where Andrew was murdered). To the left of the sitting room is the formal dining room and beyond that lies the kitchen at the back of the house to the right of the pantry, sink room, stairs that lead up to the master bedroom, and a side entry to the home. Going up the spiraled staircase near the front entrance, there is a dress closet on the left, the guest room straight ahead (the location of Abby’s murder), and Lizzie’s bedroom on the right. A door off of Lizzie’s room leads directly into Emma’s room. At the back of the second level (accessed from the stairs near the kitchen) is Andrew and Abby’s bedroom and Abby’s dressing room. Continuing up the stairs to the attic, you’ll find and two additional bedrooms (one of which acted as Bridget Sullivan’s room) and a separate room for storage. Outside, there is a barn to the left of the main house that acted as horse stables and a carriage storage space. Finally, directly behind the main house is the entrance to the basement, with the laundry room and wood rooms on the left side of the basement and the fruit cellar and coal bins on the right.)
