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]
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.[3]
