It was then the scene of busy labor for a time, for the old mansion, already venerable, was enlarged and made the grandest in North America. We may never know who the workmen were, though we do know the name of the new owner. Doubtless some of the artisans were men of Medford and Charlestown, and perhaps there labored the sable sons of Ham, the slaves of their master Royall, beside the dutiful subjects of their royal master King George.
