Built in about 1840 to replace an earlier building of the same function, the Lorillard Snuff Mill is the oldest existing tobacco manufacturing building in the United States. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1977.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/77000935.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Lorillard Snuff Mill] |474 KB|author=George R.

The Lorillard firm was founded by Pierre Abraham Lorillard in 1760. His two sons took over after he was killed during the American Revolutionary War, and they moved the firm to the property in the Bronx.

It is on the grounds of the New York Botanical Gardens which is itself an NHL. It is currently used as staff offices, but at one time had a cafe on the first floor.
