Historic and Architectural Resources of Narragansett, Rhode Island

From introduction: "The following report covers the historical and architectural resources of the town of Narragansett. The report begins with a short illustrated account of Narragansett’s architectural and developmental history, based on information derived from readily available sources, and from analysis of extant structures and sites. Lists of properties in Narragansett that are entered on the National Register of Historic Places and those that are suggested for nomination to the National Register follow. Finally, the report includes an annotated inventory of properties of historical and architectural importance in the town. This report on the cultural resources of the town of Narragansett incorporates material from two separate surveys conducted by the Rhode Island Historical Preservation Commission. The first survey, limited to Narragansett Pier and its immediate area, was done in response to the Housing and Community Development Act CDA of 1974, and resulted in the publication of Narragansett Pier, Narragansett, R. I.- Statewide Historical Preservation Report W-N-1, in February, 1978. The Narragansett Pier report was designed primarily to meet the town’s review and compliance requirements under federal historic preservation statutes by identifying structures and sites eligible for nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. This townwide survey is a result of the Rhode Island Historical Preservation Commission’s ongoing program to identify and evaluate properties of historical, archeological, and architectural significance in Rhode Island. This phase of work was conducted in Boston Neck and Point Judith Neck during the winter of 1985-86. In all, over 160 buildings, structures, and sites in Narragansett have been recorded by the Historical Preservation Commission. The basic information provided by these surveys allows the town’s cultural resources to be properly considered in making planning decisions at the federal, state, and local levels." Funding was provided in part by a Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the Rhode Island State Historic Preservation Office and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
