| Built in 1893,
the large house on the hill west of the railroad tracks
on Winslow Road marks the town of Winslow, which was an
active BCR&N railroad station with depot, store, blacksmith
and stockyard. Mail for Finchford and much of the rural
area around was delivered to the Winslow post office. Winslow
declined as a business center between 1900, when the post
office was discontinued, and 1905, when sorghum shipments
from the Newell Mill stopped. Today, it is a private residence.
