Sawyer House, Renaissance Revival residence in Monroe, Michigan.
The Sawyer House features grand proportions, symmetrical design elements, and carefully detailed architectural features characteristic of 1870s residential construction in Michigan.
Originally built in 1873 on the site of the former Navarre House, this property served as a military headquarters during the War of 1812.
The property represents the evolution of residential architecture from French colonial settlement through the Renaissance Revival period in the Great Lakes region.
Located at 320 East Front Street in Monroe, the house operates as a public venue managed by The Sawyer Homestead nonprofit organization.
The stair banister contains timber from the original Navarre House, connecting two centuries of architectural history in a single structural element.
