This is an old abandoned mill on Railroad Ave., in Woonsocket, RI.  It’s situated a stones throw north of the Manville Dam (see attached photo).  Rhode Island was, back in the day, known for their mills, mostly textile in nature.  Like many mills of the day the town was built up around them.  This mill sat adjacent to a rail line and a river.  Again, commonplace for old mill’s and factories.  I’m sure this will be turned into apartments or condo’s like so many others.  We’re good at creating places to live just not so good at restoring a thriving manufacturing base.
