Blackhawk Putnam Tavern
Blackhawk Putnam Tavern, Historic tavern in Houlton, Maine, United States.
The Blackhawk Putnam Tavern stands as a three-and-a-half-story wooden structure with Federal and Greek Revival architectural elements at 22 North Street.
Samuel Wormwood constructed this building in 1813 for Aaron Putnam, making it the oldest standing structure in Aroostook County, Maine.
The tavern functioned as a courthouse for Washington County district court sessions before Aroostook County's establishment in 1839.
The building contains two fully framed stories plus additional space under a side-gable roof, with five symmetrical bays across the east-facing main facade.
The property transformed from a tavern to a courthouse, then to a restaurant, and now serves as both a private residence and social services agency.
