The Phillips Insulated Wire Company Complex is an historic industrial site at 413 Central Avenue in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Encompassing three city blocks, the Phillips complex includes fourteen brick buildings with more than 350,000 square feet (33,000 m2) of space. They were built by the Phillips Insulated Wire Company between about 1898 and 1927. The company, established in 1888, was one of the most successful manufacturers of coated wire products, in an industry that ranked as the third-largest in Pawtucket. The complex was used by a variety of owners for the manufacture of such products until 2003.[2]
