If you compare this recent picture of the entranceway of The Saunders Mansion section of The Sawyer Free Library with the old photo from The Sawyer Free Library website, you will see that originally there was a tower which stood atop this entranceway. In the picture below the tower is in the left of the picture on the Middle Street side, not the Dale Avenue side. The tower has since been taken down.
