Allendale Mill is a historic mill in North Providence, Rhode Island on the banks of the Woonasquatucket River.
The mill was built in 1822 by John Holden Greene for Zachariah Allen. The mill had various fire safety devices that were advanced for the time, including "heavy fire doors, sprinkler system, rotary fire pump,and copper-riveted fire hose to be used in American textile mills. In addition, Allen built a heavy fire wall separating the picker room (filled with highly flammable cotton fibers) from the rest of the mill and set the roofshingles in mortar."[1]
The mill's 6 buildings over 50 acres (200,000 m2) were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1][2]
