Close to the shores of Narragansett Bay lies the Towers. Built between 1883 -1886, the Towers played a key role in the social life of Rhode Islanders in the late 1900. It was part of the great Narragansett Pier Casino resort and considered one of America’s most prestigious resorts visited by the elite class. Back in those days, the casino was not only a place for gambling but also a sport center where visitors enjoyed tennis, billiards, bowling, cards and other entertainment such as restaurants and boating. It was certainly a social and a class landmark in New England.
 Unfortunately, all came to an end on September 12, 1900 when the Rockingham hotel, adjacent to the Casino, caught fire and quickly spread it.  The Great Fire of September 12, 1900 turned down the Pier Casino, except for the walls of the Towers.  Â
Today, the Towers, added to the National Register of Historic Places, stand still as a remnant of the golden era of The Narragansett Pier Casino. A popular venue for weddings and other social events and a well known landmark in Rhode Island where visitors can truly enjoy a promenade along the ocean after passing the Towers.
Overlooking the Ocean, there lies the Towers of Narragansett, colloquially known as the Towers defiant of time and symbol of the Gilded Age.
