The Attleborough Falls Gasholder Building is a historic building at 380 Elm Street in North Attleborough, Massachusetts. It is a rare surviving example (of which not more than three were identified in the state in 1987) of a mid-19th century natural gas storage building. Its date of construction is uncertain: the North Attleborough Gas Company was established in 1855, and its Attleboro Falls plant was expanded in 1874. It is a round building about 35 feet (11 m) in diameter and 32 feet (9.8 m) in height, including its conical roof and cupola-like top. The brick structure originally housed a tank in which gas was stored.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
