The more than 100-year-old brick tower at the former Otis Mill on Mill Street was taken down Monday by a professional demolition company. The original mill was built in 1888 and became the founding mill of International Paper in 1898. The tower had International Paper Co. 1906 in large white letters at the top. The company built the Androscoggin Paper mill on Riley Road in Jay, which began operations in 1960s. Wasuau Paper Corp. operated the Mill Street mill until it closed in 2009 after more than 120 years of papermaking.
