Isaac Royall House, Colonial house museum in Medford, Massachusetts, United States.
The Isaac Royall House features Georgian architectural elements with a three-story structure and detailed woodwork throughout its symmetrical facade and interior rooms.
Built in 1737 for Isaac Royall Jr., the house became a military headquarters during the American Revolution after the Loyalist family fled to England.
The property contains the only remaining freestanding slave quarters in New England, where over 60 enslaved Africans lived between 1732 and 1775.
Visitors can join guided tours of the mansion and slave quarters from June through October, with special programs focusing on colonial life and slavery history.
The house preserves records of Belinda Sutton, an enslaved woman who filed one of the first petitions for reparations in United States history.
