Putnam House
203 Prospect, Highland Park
One of a trio of Howard Van Doren Shaw houses commissioned by John A.
Putnam c. 1901, the Putnam House at 203 Prospect, Highland Park, needs
to find a preservation-minded buyer or faces the possibility of
demolition. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places*, but not
a local landmark, the home is two and a half stories tall. It is an
arts-and-crafts inspired shingle residence that sits comfortably on a
mature, shady lot in the Hazel-Prospect National Register District. The
three Shaw homes share neighbors from Highland Park's earliest days,
with rare Queen Anne and Italianate homes from the Highland Park
Building Company, as well as then-contemporary work from Silsbee and
Wright.
The homeowners would welcome a buyer who will maintain this historic
Howard Van Doren Shaw residence. Highland Park has seen many teardowns
and the owners are hoping to save this home from the same fate. For more
information or for a private showing, please call Lisa Davis, Baird &
Warner, (847)432-0500.
* Nation Register designation does qualify the building for two tax
incentives: the state property tax freeze program and a preservation
easement donation.
