Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 14., A communication. (search)
A communication. How many of the crowd of people who watched the burning of the old house in the brickyard on Buzzell's lane, May 9, 1911, knew that a portion of that building was contemporary with the older portion of the Royall House? It was mentioned in a deed dated 1707, and was then the property of John Usher and was occupied by Joseph Whittemore, his tenant. It stood on the spot where the Mystic House (now removed) formerly was, and was later removed to the brickyard and enlarged. It had been on fire several times, and once its roof was burned off, and when repaired a flat roof was substituted. It was first occupied after removal by Mr. Buzzell for whom Buzzell's lane was named. —J. H. H.
