In 1913 architect Carleton Monroe Winslow, Sr. in collaboration with William S. Hebbard, designed Hillcrest’s All Saints Episcopal Church (right), which remains at Sixth & Pennsylvania. But he is most remembered for his role in the design and construction of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition buildings in Balboa Park. Winslow was the Exposition’s architect-in-residence, representing 
chief architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue.
While Goodhue designed the California Building (which became home to the Museum of Man), Winslow designed several buildings for the 1915 Exposition: the Indian Arts Building (now House of Charm), the Home Economy and Science & Education buildings (both demolished in the 1960s and replaced by the Timken and west wing of the art museum), the Foreign Arts Building (House of Hospitality); the Varied Industries & Food Products Building (Casa del Prado); the entrances to the arcades and the Seal of the City of San Diego on the West Gate. Winslow also designed the Administration Building (not Irving Gill, a common misperception), the Kansas Building and contributed to others.
Winslow studied architecture at the Art Institute of Chicago and at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris. In 1916 he co-authored the book, The Architecture and the Gardens of the San Diego Exposition: A Pictorial Survey of the Aesthetic Features of the Panama California International Exposition. Winslow then moved to Los Angeles where he contributed to the design of the Los Angeles Public Library headquarters, completing the work after Goodhue’s death in 1924. He also opened an office in Santa Barbara, where he designed Cottage Hospital and worked with Floyd E. Brewster on the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History.
The architect served as the president of the Los Angeles Municipal Art Commission from 1931 to 1933 and became a Fellow of the AIA in 1939. He died in the City of Angels on October 16, 1946, and was survived by his wife and son, Carleton Monroe Winslow, Jr.
