Coulter House
The Coulter House in the Bankers Hill area of San Diego is one of the finest remaining examples of the residential work of architect Carleton Monroe Winslow Sr. in the city. The two-story residence was built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style in 1915 for Lucy Coulter, widow of Midwest businessman John Payer Coulter. Winslow had become a major proponent of the style while working for Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson as the lead building designer for the Panama-California Exposition. The Coulters, mother and daughters, were prominent in cultural and social circles and traveled world-wide. They are reputed to have been the first white women to visit the Orient. Winslow moved to Los Angeles in 1917 and, while still associated with Cram, Goodhue and Ferguson, was largely responsible for the design of the Los Angeles Public Library on Goodhue’s untimely death. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
