North Manchester Planing and Band Saw Mill (J.A. Browne Co. Mill) was a historic sawmill complex located at North Manchester, Wabash County, Indiana. The sawmill was built in 1876, and was a 1+12-story brick building. It was enlarged in 1898, to house the power station of the Browne-Mills Electric Company. Associated with the mill were three brick cottages built in the late-1870s for mill employees.[2]: 2–3 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, and delisted in 1995.[1]
