MedfOrd'S HObgOblin Hall and Its
Unfortunate Tenants.

The old town OF Medford is but six
miles from Boston, and in the town Is
the old Royal House. better known as
Hobgoblin Hall, although there seems
TO be no good and sufficient reason for
giving so staid and dignIfied a house
such an unpleasant and uncanny name.
1t is one Of the very few remaining
types of the architecture OF one hun
dred and fifty year, ago, and 1t seems
pity that it should not be preserved
as an object Of antiquity and historical
interest. In 1887 Isaac Royal came to
Massachusetts, from Antigua, bringing
his tropical habits with him and look
ing for a site wherein he might erect
a sort OF mansion house and set up an
establishment BETTING a gentleman OF
wealth and the possessor OF slaves.
His choice fell on Medford and here

brutality killed another member Of the

he had shot down his victim quite In

The remarkable defense that he SCI
up was that his victim was a "Windi-

be killed. So successful was this de-

worthy Of his high-sounding name
But his enjoyment OF this beautiful
home was short-lived, for he died not

Isaac Royal was Tory, and he was
in Boston when the battle of Lexington

reaIly-loyed peace as much as he loved
his king and who cannot be severely
censured for simply being true to the

The now deserted house was named
Hobgoblin Hall for some reason not

by anything but ghostiy memories. al

sorrowful circumstances under which
its once happy occupants were driven
