Deep River-Columbia Manufacturing Company was a historic textile mill complex located at Ramseur, Randolph County, North Carolina. The brick mill complex was built between about 1850 and 1920. The main mill building consisted of a two-story, 11-bay, gable-roofed section built about 1850, with a three-story, 13-bay addition constructed in 1888. A four-story stair tower was added to the mill between 1885 and 1888. The mill closed in January 1963.[2] It has been demolished.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
