Croup Manor

Croup Manor is a location and settlement in the Commonwealth, situated on the northern tip of Nahant in 2287.
Background This coastal mansion once belonged to the distinguished Croup family of Nahant.[1] Although far enough from the blast zones to avoid annihilation, this property took the full force of the nuclear fallout and quickly became dilapidated, and the historic family underwent ghoulification.
Unable to bring himself to end their suffering, the only survivor, Theodore Croup, gathered the shuffling remains of his family together and locked them in the basement in January and February of 2078 before going out to look for other survivors. Meeting both ghouls and humans, all shared with him their experiences ending those who turned into monsters and tried to kill the non-feral survivors.
Unable to let go, Theodore came to the conclusion that the old world was dead, and his ghoulified family could start over again. He then went about trying to rehabilitate his family to allow them to talk, function and act like normal people again. The property became a hot spot for ferals, its remoteness proving to be its greatest asset. Far enough away from the main paths, it was avoided by the majority of wastelanders, leaving Theodore to rehabilitate in peace. For the next two hundred years, he would do his best, but around 2287, his frustration boiled over. After spending the past two centuries trying to teach the creatures how to act as humans, he had nothing to show for it, except for the possibility that his cousin James could spot the difference between a salad fork and a regular fork. As for his aunt, Belinda Croup, he could not reach her at all, threatening to "bust her head" if she did not start listening to him. Ultimately, he did, and the remainder of his family would finally slaughter him.
