Augustine Paper Mill, also known as the Container Corporation of America, Paper Mill Division (Old Wilmington Plant), is a historic paper mill complex located at Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware. The complex consists of seven 19th century stone buildings. The oldest building is a three-story mill erected from randomly laid stone with walls three feet thick. It has a slate covered gable roof and arched brick opening for the mill race. The remaining buildings consist of two-level mill structures and support buildings, including the boiler house. The complex was acquired by the Container Corporation of America in 1942.[2] The property has been redeveloped for residential use.
