Allendale Mill is an historic mill in North Providence, Rhode Island.

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 tex-tile mills. In addition, Allen built a heavy fire wall sepa-rating the picker room (filled with highly flammablecotton fibers) from the rest of the mill and set the roofshingles in mortar."
