HISTORY OF THE ROYALL HOUSE OF MEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS


1631 The General Court granted to Governor John Winthrop 600 acres of land which he named "Ten Hills Farm".


1637-1677 Original farm house built by Governof Winthrop. On his death in 1649 his son John Jr. owned the property.


1677-1732 Bought by Mrs. Peter Lidgett, whose son Charles, the next owner, was a supporter of Governor Andros, and was forced into exile in England by the colonial revolt against Andros. Her daughter married Lieut. - Governor John Usher of New Hampshire who enlarged the house by building a lean- to and continued to live there until 1726.


1732 Col. Isaac Royall, Sr., a wealthy merchant of Antigua, British West Indies, purchased and rebuilt the house as it now stands, together with quarters for his 27 slaves brought from the Island.


1739-1775 On the death of his father, Col. Isaac Royall, Jr. fell heir to the property and continued to live in lavish hospitality. His costly chariot drawn by four spirited horses was a frequent sight going from the Royall drive- way with prominent guests. He served many years on the Governor's Council and was chairman of the Selectmen in both Charlestown and Medford. Most of Royall's ties held him to the Patriots' cause, but his family persuaded him to join them in the Loyalist cause and they departed for Halifax and later to England where he died of smallpox in Kensington, in 1781.


1775 The estate was confiscated by the Colonies, and General John Stark made it his headquarters before the evacuation of Boston by the British on March 17, 1776. Generals Washington, Lee, Sullivan and Stark here held many coun- cils of war. Mollie Stark watched the movements of the British troops in camp by the river from a look-out on the roof of this house.


1782-1784 Col. Cary, Washington's Aide leased the property, his house in Charlestown having been burned in the battle of Bunker Hill.


1790 William Woodbridge conducted a boarding and day school.


1806 The government returned the estate to the heirs of Isaac Royall. Money from the sale of part of the land founded Harvard Law School.


1806 William Welch purchased and lived here four years.


1810-1811 Sold to Francis Cabot Lowell.


1811-1860 Passed into the hands of Jacob Tidd. Mrs. Tidd's brother was William Dawes who with Paul Revere "Spread the Alarm".


1860-1896 Occupied by various people until rented by Sarah Bradlee, Fulton Chapter, D. A. R.


1908 Purchased and restored by The Royall House Association.


The preservation of this distinguished landmark is the only function of The Association. Your support, through membership, would be appreciated.
