- Frankford_Powder-Mill abstract "The Frankford Powder-Mill is a historic gunpowder factory in the Frankford neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.At the time it was built in 1774 by Oswald Eve, it was the only such mill in the American colonies. Eve built his mill next to Frankford Creek, from which it drew its power.When in the following year King George III banned shipments of gunpowder to the colonies, Eve was left with a monopoly on the commodity. The mill was the first American powder mill to supply the American Revolutionary War.Before and during the early American Revolution, the mill was operated by Eve, then by his son Oswald Eve, Jr. On January 11, 1776, the Continental Congress contracted the elder Eve to manufacture gunpowder for the Colonies at $8.00 per hundredweight. Later, Paul Revere visited the mill to observe Eve's production methods. By April 1777, Eve had delivered 25,000 pounds of powder to the state. In 1778, the elder Eve was accused of clandestine dealings with the British and was convicted of treason by the Supreme Executive Council of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, who confiscated all his property, including the mill. It later passed into the hands of John Decatur, father of Revolutionary War naval hero Stephen Decatur, Sr., then in 1806 to local war hero General Isaac Worrell.The building still stands but has long since been devoted to other uses.".
