Putnam Town Hall, formerly Putnam High School, is an historic civic building at 126 Church Street in Putnam, Connecticut. Constructed in 1874, it is a large 2-1/2 story brick structure with a hip roof. The main focal elements of the building are two towers, one two stories in height at the front left corner, and a three-story tower at the front right, which has an elaborate gabled clock stage (but no clock), above which is a pyramidal roof. The building was used by the town as its high school until 1911. The building now houses municipal offices. It is one of the oldest surviving high school buildings in the state.[2]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
