Located in the heart of Sawyer, the historic Flynn Theater building, dating to 1923, is home to Susan's Sawyer, one of Southwest Michigan's best-known dining destinations. This distinctive mixed-use property blends historic character with commercial, residential, and creative spaces in a sought-after Harbor Country location.
