TheCoast Guard House is a historiclifesaving station at 40 Ocean Road inNarragansett, Rhode Island.
The station was built in 1888 byMcKim, Mead, and White, during the heyday ofNarragansett Pier as a summer resort community. It is a roughly oblong block, semicircular at its north end, with a steep slate roof that curves with the line of the wall at the north end. The building served as a lifesaving station from 1888 to 1946, and was converted to a restaurant in the 1960s. This resulted in the addition of a large dining area to the south and east, and the leveling of the floor in the boat storage area. The southern end of the second floor was damaged by fire in 1975.[2]
The building was listed on theNational Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
