The Mechanical Fabric Company is a historic factory complex on Cromwell and Sprague Streets in Providence, Rhode Island. It consists of six brick buildings, arranged in roughly parallel rows in a city block bounded by Cromwell, Sprague, and Dexter Streets, and Elmwood Avenue. They were built between 1891 and about 1925. The Mechanical Fabric Company was a major player in the city's rubber industry, and was particularly notable as the site of innovations in the development and manufacture of pneumatic bicycle tires.[2]
The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
