The building was utilized some of the foundation from the Old Red House. Hugh Maxwell IV, great grandson of Col Hugh Maxwell, founder of Heath was paid $25 for the property so a library could be built. He also contributed considerable funds towards the building of the property but only if it was named for Ellsworth Sawyer. In addition to the library, the building was to be used as a social center, it even contained a private pool room. The town records were moved from the Old Town House to Sawyer Hall and the town began conducting its business dealings from this location.
Today Sawyer Hall serves as the US Post Office, Library and Town Offices.
