45 Mill Ln 8,000 SF Industrial Building Willsboro, NY 12996 $300,000 ($37.50/SF)

Historic Riverfront Commercial Opportunity – Own a Piece of Willsboro’s Pulp Mill Legacy Step back in time to the early 1900s, when the Bouquet River powered one of the Adirondacks’ most important industries. The handsome brick portion of this building was constructed around 1900 as the office for the historic Willsboro Pulp Mill — later part of the New York & Pennsylvania Paper Company.
Under the skilled leadership of Augustus G. Paine Jr., the mill thrived as a major employer, producing wood pulp and fine paper that helped supply America’s leading magazines. It stood alongside the town’s grist and saw mills, harnessing the river’s energy as it flowed toward Lake Champlain. Today, this is the last surviving structure from that bustling industrial complex — a true piece of local history with its original exterior details beautifully preserved. Now this 8,000-square-foot commercial building on 4 acres is ready for its next exciting chapter.
The 1950s and 1960s warehouse additions give you soaring ceilings, open flexible space, and modern functionality while keeping the historic charm. Located right on Mill Lane with gorgeous river views, it’s the perfect setting for new possibilities.
