Augustine Paper Mill, also known as the Container Corporation of America, Paper Mill Division (Old Wilmington Plant), was a historic paper mill complex located in Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. The complex consisted of seven 19th century stone buildings including the original three-story mill building, also known as Building 7, and various later two-level mill structures and support buildings. As of 2022, Building 7 is the only surviving part of the complex. It is a three-story mill erected from randomly laid stone with walls three feet thick, a slate covered gable roof, and an arched brick opening for the mill race.
The complex was acquired by the Container Corporation of America in 1942 (82 years ago) (1942).[2] In 1978, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1] The property was redeveloped into a gated condominium complex in 1985 (39 years ago) (1985). The oldest mill structure, Building 7, was converted for residential use, while the other six buildings were replaced by new construction.[3]
