The Rumford Chemical Works and Mill House Historic District is a historic district encompassing the remnants of a historical chemical plant in East Providence, Rhode Island. The Rumford Chemical Works established its presence in East Providence (moving from Providence) c. 1857, and eventually built an extensive complex of buildings centered on the junction of Newman and Greenwood Avenues with North Broadway. Its main section originally extended eastward from this junction to a pond which has since been filled in and built over with apartments. The surviving parcel, roughly 8.5 acres (3.4 ha), includes a few wood-frame buildings which may date to the 1857 move, and most prominently includes a large three-story brick warehouse built in 1895. A wood-frame office building stands across North Broadway from the main complex, and a series of duplexes built as worker housing line North Broadway.^[2]

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.^[1] The Rumford Chemical Works are now home to several businesses including the Punch Kettlebell Gym and the Seven Stars Bakery as well as rental apartments and lofts.
