North Smithfield split from Smithfield in 1871. Its best-known village, Slatersville, was America's first planned industrial mill village. John Slater built it in the early 1800s. The Slatersville Historic District made the National Register in 1973.
Slater built Slatersville as a company town. The mill, the store, and the worker housing were all under one owner. That housing is still standing and still lived in today.
Downspout offers gutter cleaning, gutter repair, and pressure washing throughout North Smithfield. Homes in Slatersville and Forestdale often have gutter systems that don't match their current roofline. That causes water to spill over instead of draining properly. The old stone and brick mill buildings also hold onto grime and moss. Regular pressure washing clears both the siding and the masonry.
