Noxon House, date unknown, Delaware State Archives

The 2+1⁄2-story frame mill predates the house. It measures 30 feet by 40 feet and has a metal roof. Noxontown was an important trading and milling center throughout the Colonial period. The mill was in operation as a merchant mill until 1855 and thereafter solely as a custom mill.^[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.^[1]

All the buildings of Noxontown are now owned by St. Andrew's School.
