A view of the Briggs-Collier House, North Scituate, Plymouth County, Mass., sometime before 1921. The first white settler of the area, Timothy Hatherly, was in Scituate in 1632, and in this area of North Scituate by 1637. Walter Briggs purchased land from Hatherly and built the original house at this site about 1651. William Collier (1721 --- 1794), born in Hull, but then of Boston, married Judith Briggs in 1749, and the property remained in the family for nearly 200 years thereafter.
