Built in 1854-1855, this massive, three-story granite mill building at the falls of the Neuse River was the center of an impressive milling operation for over a century. During its chief period of significance in 1855-1896 in which it operated as a paper mill, it was described as the only significant producer of paper in eastern North Carolina and one of the largest in the state. The mill was restored in 1984 as condominiums.
