History

The Mill #2 Annex was built between 1940 and 1942, by the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.

It was originally designed and built as a surface preparation and finishing mill for the Alloy and Tool Steel Division at Bethlehem Steel's Lehigh Plant in Bethlehem. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

The 4.5 acres (1.8 ha) Mill No. 2 Annex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. [1]

The building has since been renovated and currently contains condominiums, two commercial properties, and a parking garage. [8]
