Outdoor Green Shutters – Home History
Built in 1845, the Lizzie Borden House has been well maintained over the years to preserve its original splendor. The wooden window shutters were painted the aptly named color Sherwin Williams Rookwood Shutter Green (SW 2809), which perfectly complement the all-green siding. It is a unique color combination that works perfectly.
