Additional Information: | Somewhat simplified massing which shows the influence of the Shingle Style. Rounded porch; roof contrasts. This home was built for Giles Putnam. He opened a law practice in 1899 and served as the city attorney for a number of years. Putnam also served as the District Attorney for Waupaca County and the local postmaster from 1924-1934. He was a naturalist and travelled the country studying birds. In 1911, Mr. and Mrs. Findlay McIntyre purchased the home. Mr. McIntyre managed the Condensed Milk Factory. In 1915, he accepted the presidency for the National Condensed Milk Company and moved to Chicago. Frank Zaug then bought the house.
