The Sawyer Building is a historic commercial building at 4-6 Portland Street in Dover, New Hampshire. The three-story brick structure was built in 1825, during Dover's period of economic prosperity following the establishment of its textile mills. It occupies a prominent triangular lot bounded by Portland Street and Main Street, and is also known locally as the Flatiron Building, after the triangular Flatiron Building in New York City. It is one of Dover's oldest commercial buildings.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
