It now operates as the Winslow House Museum alongside several relocated outbuildings.","why_significant":"The house is described as a remarkable colonial-period building, probably among the largest and most elaborate in the region, with fine paneling and rare early decorative paint. It was later the home of Daniel Webster, and in 1920 it became one of the earliest house museums in Massachusetts, restored to reflect the periods of Colonel Isaac Winslow and General John Winslow.","narrative":"Set at the corner of Webster and Careswell streets in Marshfield, this large wood-frame house began as an early 18th-century residence and was remodeled in the second half of the century into its present Georgian appearance. It measures forty-four by thirty-three feet and rises two and one-half stories around a central chimney, on its original hammered-granite foundation. Inside, the house keeps original doors, a twenty-four-tread staircase, a winter kitchen with stippled paint and a beehive oven, and paneling considered among the finest in the Old Plymouth Colony. Daniel Webster, who called it the Winslow Place, later owned it, and his family held it after his death. In 1920 a preservation association restored it and opened it as a house museum, funded by a tearoom added at the rear. The 20-acre grounds also hold relocated buildings, including Webster's law office, a blacksmith shop and the Marcia Thomas House. Restoration in 1994-96 reflected two periods of Winslow occupancy.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Colonial/Postmedieval, Georgian","criteria":[],"status_note":"Operated as a house museum since 1920 with tours, school programs and rented event space; restored 1994-96.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:13:04.753016-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/80/7965/63796580/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_MA/00000872.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000872/18f018fe36-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/00000872/18f018fe36-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"John Phelan","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Isaac_Winslow_House,_Marshfield_MA.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">John Phelan</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Isaac_Winslow_House,_Marshfield_MA.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/63796580","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Winslow_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6077343"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/massachusetts/plymouth-county/winslow-isaac-house-00000872/"}
