Bondsville Mill (James C. Roberts Wollen Mills) circa 1881 |
East Brandywine Township engaged Wise Preservation Planning to investigate and prepare a preliminary report on the historic resources comprising the former Bondsville Mill. The township acquired the 25-acre mill property in 2004 with the intention of developing it into a passive recreation park. The Bondsville Mill, a collection of 19th and 20th century industrial buildings comprising one large factory complex, is located near the north end of the property. The main scope of the project was to examine the property, briefly document the extent of the mill complex and related resources, and make recommendations for preservation and reuse. The report (The Wise Report) was submitted to the Bondsville Mill Committee on December 20, 2006.
