Narragansett Pier Life Saving Station, Historic life saving station in Narragansett, United States.

The Narragansett Pier Life Saving Station features an oblong block design with a semicircular northern end and steep slate roof along Ocean Road.

The McKim, Mead & White architectural firm constructed this maritime safety building in 1888 when Narragansett Pier functioned as a summer resort destination.

The station operated continuously for maritime rescue operations from 1888 to 1946, marking a significant period in Rhode Island's coastal safety history.

Located at 40 Ocean Road, the structure now houses a restaurant with expanded dining areas on the south and east sides of the original building.

The building's transformation from a life saving station to a restaurant required modifications, including the leveling of the former boat storage area floor.
