Putnam Historic District
Putnam Historic District, Historic district in Zanesville, US

The area was founded as Springfield in 1800 and renamed Putnam in 1814. It later became part of Zanesville in 1872.
The Stone Academy served as a gathering place where community leaders and activists met to discuss pressing issues of the day. The building reflected the neighborhood's commitment to civic engagement and social reform.
