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. In 1901, Zaug began work for the Wisconsin Chair Company at Port Washington. In December of 1911, the business moved to New London merging with the Wolf River Company to become the Wisconsin Seating Company. In 1919, he founded American Plywood Corporation in New London. In 1939, the American Plywood Corporation manufactured the first plywood home built in New London, at the corner of Warren and Jefferson Streets. Mr. Zaug sold the business in 1952.
