Winship Building 1888

E.A. Winship arrived from Minneapolis in 1887, and it soon became clear that he was a gentleman with money to invest. In March 1888, he purchased this site for $15,000 and announced plans for a brick building. Designed by Luther M. Turton, the building became one of the most notable of its time. In the quality of its design and its location in the heart of town, it recalls the excitement of the time and the promise it held. The building was restored in 1985 by architect AIA, builder William Cocke, and developer Ging Chan, and the project won a Napa Chamber of Commerce Civic Improvement Award for Historic Preservation.
