Description and history

The house is a 1+12-story, single-family residence in the American Craftsman style. The home was purchased by newspaper publisher George P. Putnam and his new bride, Dorothy Binney Putnam, the heiress to the Crayola fortune, [2] following their honeymoon in 1912. [3] They named the estate "Pinelyn." At the time it was the third most expense home constructed in Bend, Oregon in 1911–1912, at a cost of $4,000. [4] The Putnam's lived in the house until 1914, and sold it in 1919. [5] The Putnams were divorced in 1929 and Mr. Putnam married famed aviator Amelia Earhart. [6] [3]

Retaining its original character and charm, a majority of the historic fabric in the house is intact. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 29, 1998. [7]
