The American Spinning Company Mill No. 2 is a historic mill complex at 300 Hammett Street in Greenville County, South Carolina. It is a five-story brick building with a number of warehouse buildings and other additions. Designed by the industrial design firm Lockwood and Greene, it was built in 1901 and finished in 1902 by Oscar Sampson, a Boston textile manufacturer.
The mill was originally built as part of a major expansion to Mill No. 1, also known as Sampson Mill, and is located just north of that facility. It is one of eighteen mills in Greenville. In 1926, Florence Mills bought the mill. It operated until June 27, 1990, making it one of the longest running textile mills in the area.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. Today, the Victor Mill Company, a furniture maker, is the mill's major tenant. The complex continues to be used for industrial purposes in a pocket of unincorporated Greenville County surrounded on three sides by the city of Greenville.
