SOUTH FERRY CHURCH
One of the finest examples of an early Victorian church, the South
Ferry Church, is located 1000 feet from Narragansett Bay on a
hilltop on South Ferry Road in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Designed
by Thomas Tefft, a prominent 19th century Providence architect, the
South Ferry Church was built in the 1850's for the Narragansett
Baptist Church.
It was originally part of the thriving South Ferry textile village.
During these early years, the church was a meeting place for some of
the most prominent families in Narragansett. However, changes in the
textile industry and transportation technology led to a decline in
the village. In addition, in 1908 the Baptist congregation moved to
another location a mile away.
