Railroad Street, fprmer Peace Dale Railroad Station
1875-76/c. 1985:
Recently made over into offices and an apartment, the
station is a small, 1-1/2-story structure with a curious monitoron-hip-
roof. The eaves are very broad, functioning as a shelter
over the station platform, and supported by big ornamented
-brackets. The local line, the Narragansett Pier Railroad, opened
in 1876,’ was largely a Hazard family creation. It provided a
direct rail link to their Peace Dale mills and spurred
development at Narragansett Pier, where the family owned
extensive property. This and other stations on the NPRR were
designed by Frank W. Angell, based on design ideas provided by
Rowland Hazard II. The rail line closed early in the 1950s and
in the past few years the tracks have been taken up. C
