Designed by Carleton Monroe Winslow Sr. and built in 1915-1916 for Lucy Coulter.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant as one of the finest remaining examples of Winslow's residential work in San Diego. Its style is closely tied to the Panama-California Exposition of 1915-1916, for which Winslow designed buildings. It is also associated with the Coulter and Peery families, who were prominent in San Diego cultural and social life.","narrative":"Built in 1915-1916 for Lucy Coulter, a widow and investor, this two-story house at 3162 Second Avenue in San Diego's Bankers Hill neighborhood was designed by architect Carleton Monroe Winslow Sr. and built by the Los Angeles firm Winter and Nicholson. It has stuccoed walls, a hipped roof of slate shingles with Mission tile trim, Doric pilasters and columns around arched openings, and a monumental arched front entrance. Inside are a Japanese room, a stepped-down living room with beam ceiling, and an original elevator. Winslow also designed buildings for the Panama-California Exposition in Balboa Park, and the house reflects the Spanish Colonial style associated with that event. The nomination calls it one of the finest remaining examples of his residential work in the city. The Coulter family, and later the Peery family, were prominent in local cultural and social circles. The house remains in excellent condition, though its large formal garden to the west was removed for later development.","period_of_significance":"1915-1916","architect_builder":"Carleton Monroe Winslow Sr., architect; Winter and Nicholson of Los Angeles, builders","architectural_style":"Spanish Colonial Revival (Spanish Colonial-Mission Revival)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition, largely unchanged from original construction apart from removal of the west garden; used as a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:28.033099-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/83001227.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001227/23cccc3be8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001227/23cccc3be8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Bruce Roberson","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Coulter_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Bruce Roberson</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:Coulter_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123860845","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16543933"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/san-diego-county/coulter-house-83001227/"}
