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 (81 years ago).[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 (38 years ago). The oldest mill structure, Building 7,
was converted for residential use, while the other six buildings were replaced by new
construction.[3]

Five other Swedish churches were founded in the 18th century: St. Mary Anne's Episcopal
Church in North East, Maryland; Old St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church in Douglassville,
Pennsylvania; St. George's Episcopal in Churchtown, New Jersey; St. James Kingsessing in
Philadelphia; and Christ Church (Old Swedes) in Upper Merion Township, Pennsylvania.[6]

Holy Trinity in Wilmington has housed an Episcopal parish since 1791 and is now part of the
Episcopal Diocese of Delaware. An earlier church in New Sweden was built in Swanwyck, near
New Castle about 1662, which was replaced by a combined church and fort at Crane Hook in
1667.[7] In 1958, the historic Hendrickson House was moved to the grounds of the church. The
church building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961.[2][8] Trinity Parish operates
two church buildings in Wilmington, both listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the
main building on North Adams,[9] and Old Swedes at East 7th and Church Streets.
