Bethlehem Steel Lehigh Plant Mill #2 Annex, also known as Merchant Mill No. 2 and the Johnson Machinery Building, is part of the historic steel mill located in Bethlehem in Northampton County and the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. It is a large, square, two-story brick industrial building.

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]
