Putterham School, Historic single-room school building in Larz Anderson Park, Brookline, United States.
The Putterham School stands as a wooden structure with original colonial features, displaying traditional New England educational architecture from the 18th century.
Constructed in 1768 at Grove and Newton Streets, the school building operated for generations until its relocation to Larz Anderson Park in 1966.
The structure reflects colonial American education methods through preserved artifacts, teaching materials, and original classroom arrangements from different periods.
Visitors can explore the educational museum from June through October on designated Sundays to learn about early American schooling methods.
During restoration, workers discovered a preserved chalk lesson written by teacher Miss Mary Elizabeth Hyde in 1897, now protected under glass.
