The Newport Steam Factory is an historic building at 449 Thames Street in Newport, Rhode Island. It is a 3+1⁄2-story stone structure, 120 feet (37 m) by 48 feet (15 m). It was built in 1831 by a group of local businessmen in an effort to boost the local economy, which had suffered since the British occupation during the American Revolutionary War. The building was used as a cotton mill until 1857. In 1892 it was purchased by the Newport Illuminating Company. It is now part of the International Yacht Restoration School. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
