Relocation

Winslow, Sr., was born in Damariscotta, ME, in 1876, and continued to reside with his family there in 1900, when the US Census recorded that he worked as an architect. People in his hometown tended to have been born there, and there wasn't a great immigrant population. In 1904, he lived at 357 West 116th Street, New York, NY, and worked as an architectural draftsman; he applied for a passport application that year. Winslow came to California in 1912, while working for the New York architect, Bertram G. Goodhue, on the Panama-California International Exposition in San Diego. He lived with Helen Winslow in a dwelling at 2101 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, as noted on his World War I Draft Card. Three years later, he, his wife, son, and parents-in-law lived at 821 New Hampshire Avenue in Los Angeles. In 1940, Goodhue resided with his wife and son at 1943 Laughlin Park Drive in Los Angeles, CA; according to the US Census of that year, the house had a value of $10,000, less than his immediate neighbors, most of whom were professionals. The census indicated that he had also resided at this address in 1935. Winslow died in Los Angeles County, CA, at the age of 69.

Parents

Edwin H. Winslow (born 05/1847 in ME), was listed as his father in the US Census of 1900. His step-mother was Edith M. Winslow (born c. 08/1858 in ME). Carlton had a brother, Harvey E. Winslow (born 09/1884 in ME) and a sister, Winifred H. (born 12/1885 in ME). The California Death Index noted that his father's surname was "Harvey" and his mother's maiden name was "Hunt. "

Biographical Notes

A passport application of 1904 recorded that Winslow stood 5 feet 6 inches tall, had a high forehead, round full chin, rather large mouth, blue eyes, light hair and a fair complexion. His 1917 World War I Draft Registration Card indicated that he was short in stature with a medium build, grey eyes and brown hair. Winslow returned to New York, NY aboard the S.S. Advance from Cristobal, Panama Canal Zone, on 08/06/1911, presumably on business in Central America. The architect designed a number of Episcopal churches and was himself a practicing Episcopalian.
