Robert Eugene (called Gene) was the son of affluent and well traveled parents, Mr and Mrs Thomas Otto. According to legend, he was given a doll by his Jamaican nurse that was made in this likeness. To this doll has been ascribed all kinds of mischief. Supposedly after he married, Gene insisted on Robert accompanying the couple everywhere. Mrs. Otto went insane, and is said to haunt the Artist House. Robert the Doll has been moved to the East Martello Museum. Employees and visitors to the museum report that Robert is up to his old tricks.
