Our Story
Nestled in the heart of Centerdale—one of North Providence’s oldest and most storied village centers—Tumblesalt Place carries forward a legacy that began along the Woonasquatucket River in the early 1800s. Centerdale first flourished as a mill village, where you would find textile mills, worker homes, and small neighborhood shops gathered around Mineral Spring Avenue.
By the turn of the 20th century, the corners of Mineral Spring and Morgan Avenue had become home to distinctive Victorian-era residences and local storefronts, including the historic buildings at 2209 Mineral Spring (c.1900) and 1 Morgan Avenue (1926)—the very spaces that now house Tumblesalt Place. Over the years, these buildings served many purposes: mill housing, a gas station and repair garage, even an ice house.
Today, through thoughtful restoration and design, these historic structures have been reimagined as Tumblesalt Place. At Tumblesalt Place, there is something for everyone! Here, you’ll find:
- Nicholena’s Pizza & Kitchen, inspired by beloved family recipes
- Tumblesalts, offering an amazing menu and comfortable atmosphere
- The Acorn Room, known for sophisticated vibe, expertly crafted cocktails, and memorable tapas menu
