The '''Nicholson File Company Mill Complex''' is a historic industrial manufacturing complex at 1-45 Acorn Street in [[Providence, Rhode Island]]. It consists of 24 buildings occupying {{convert|7|acre|ha}} of land, of which 20 are historically significant. The oldest of the buildings were built in 1865 to designs by William Nicholson, and the complex was regularly expanded over the decades through the early 20th century. The Nicholson File Company was a major producer of machine-made [[file (tool)|file]]s, started by William Nicholson in 1859. The company manufactured precision tools used in the manufacture of armaments during the [[American Civil War]] for the [[Union Army]], and closed the plant in 1959. It has been used by a variety of light industrial concerns since then.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url=http://www.preservation.ri.gov/pdfs_zips_downloads/national_pdfs/providence/prov_acorn-street-1-45_nicholson-file.pdf|title=NRHP nomination for Nicholson File Company Mill Complex|publisher=Rhode Island Preservation|accessdate=2014-10-23}}</ref><br />
