Walker's Mill, located on the Brandwine River, is 3 miles from the center of Wilmington, DE.
It was built in 1813-1816 as a cotton mill, along with 4 "bank houses" to house workers and their families.
The buildings stretched along the water across the river from Henry Clay Village also known as Rising Sun.
The Walker's Mill area had both an industrial and residential character throughout the 1800's.
Across the river from Walkers Mill, and slightly upstream, was the main Hagley yard (Hagley Museum today) and surrounding Squirrel Run worker housing.
