The Hamilton Mill—West Street Factory Housing is a historic house at 45 West Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. It is a rare early worker tenement house, built sometime between 1830 and 1855 by the Hamilton Woolen Mill Company, and is the best preserved of four such houses on West Street. It is a 2.5 story wood frame house, with four doorways, two in front, and one on each of the sides. The building, at the time of its listing, had significantly more elaborate styling (in the Greek Revival style popular at the time of its construction), than typical worker housing from later in the 19th century.^[2] It has since been resided, losing much of that styling.^[3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.^[1]
