Rumford Chemical Works and Mill House Historic District
Rumford Chemical Works and Mill House Historic District, Industrial historic district in East Providence, United States.
The Rumford Chemical Works and Mill House Historic District contains a three-story brick warehouse from 1895 and multiple wood-frame buildings at Newman Avenue.
The chemical manufacturing facility, established in 1857, produced calcium sulfite and later specialized in the production of baking powder under Horsford's patent.
