The son of the first Governor of Massachusetts, John Winthrop. His house still stands today in Winthrop, Massachusetts. Born in 1623, died in 1704.
Deane Winthrop House - The original Building was built about 1637 and was then rebuilt to its present size between 1675 and 1690. It is currently owned by the Winthrop Improvement and Historical Association and is open to visitors by appointment. This building is one of the oldest wood frame house in the country and "oldest" continuously lived in home. It is the only place left to day that one can point to and say "our first Governor, John Winthrop actually visited here". Located at 40 Shirley Street, the Deane Winthrop House is a registered National Historic Site.
