Brief Biography

Judge Isaac Winslow held many prominent positions in the colony, both military and civil. He was the judge of the Probate Court at Plymouth, chief justice of the Court of Common Pleas, and president of the Council of the Province of Massachusetts Bay.

Winslow House

Circa 1699 he built "The Isaac Winslow House" at the place named "Careswell" after their family home "Kerswell" in Worcestershire, England. This was the third house built on land granted to Gov. Edward Winslow (1595–1655) in the 1630s who erected the first homestead.

• The following description of the Winslow mansion was written by Walter Pritchard Eaton, published by House Beautiful magazine, September 1921.

The Historic Winslow House built in 1699 by Hon. Isaac Winslow, a man of means, on the land and near the site of his grandfather’s (Gov. Edward Winslow) and father’s (Gov. Josiah Winslow’s) house which was burned: a four square house, built around a gigantic chimney, with fine high pitched roof and an enclosed Portico in front, with wide windows and unusual depth, making an entrance hall. The house is framed with “gun stock” timbers conforming to the “first period Colonial” except that it has no overhang to the second story.
