Bridgewater’s Tory House Added to Notable Land Record Collection
On the north side of the Bridgewater Town Common is a historical home which caught the attention of Lorna Green-Baker, one of our employees. The “Tory House” as it is commonly identified has an interesting multi-century history. Built in 1698, it was the home of a Tory sympathizer who was forced to leave town during the Revolutionary War Period.

In the mid-1800’s, it became a stop on the Underground Railroad assisting runaway slaves. In particular, William and Ellen Crafts stopped here on their way to Boston. The Crafts later published a story of their bold escape which became very …
Registry’s December and Year End Numbers Are In
Our December numbers were strong with 669 deeds recorded in December, 2011 as compared to 624 deeds recorded in December, 2010. December also brought the second highest number of mortgages recorded (2373) in 2011.

When you factor in that a lesser percentage of our recorded deeds were foreclosure deeds, the numbers appear even brighter.

We also recorded the highest number of mortgages in a single month for all of 2011, despite the fact that so many homeowners are underwater and at this point unable to refinance. We …
Paragon Park Added To “Notable Land Records Collection”
Paragon Park, an amusement park located on Hull’s Nantasket Beach, is a new addition to the Plymouth County Registry of Deeds “Notable Land Records Collection”. Opened in 1905, Paragon Park provided family entertainment for generations. The park was home to the world’s tallest roller coaster, the Congo Cruise, the Wild Mouse, and many other thrilling rides.

Paragon Park was closed in 1984 and turned into condominiums. Hull retains the flavor and memories of its days of entertaining rides. While not as heart-stopping as the 96-foot high “Giant Coaster”, as anyone who dared to ride it will remember, the Paragon …
