Puritan Boys and the Meeting House Seating History
In Roxbury Massachusetts early settlers dealt with unruly youths by designating galleries for boys during repairs in 1658 and later creating a separate space around the meeting house. A town vote allowed surrounding outhouses, restricting the boys to fixed areas to curb disturbances. The issue appears resolved when a new meeting house provided boys’ seating on the main floor and later gates limited their access.
