Sayre & Fisher Reading Room

Sayre & Fisher Reading Room is a red brick building located at the corner of Main Street and River Road in Sayreville, New Jersey. The structure houses a reading space where the community accesses books and educational resources.

The building was constructed in 1883 and originally displayed brick products made by the Sayre and Fisher Brick Company. The company later supplied materials that became part of major American buildings.

The reading room serves as a meeting place where neighbors borrow books and attend local programs together. Today it remains central to the community, bringing people together across different ages around shared interests in learning and reading.

The building is open to the public and sits in a central location on Main Street in Sayreville, easy to find and access. Visitors should check the opening times before arriving and plan to spend enough time exploring the reading room and its collections.

The bricks of this building came from the local factory that later supplied materials for the Empire State Building. This connection reveals how a small local manufacturer contributed to one of America's most recognizable structures.
