“Hazard Castle” is considered one of the most significant historic buildings in seaside Narragansett. Joseph Peace Hazard began construction of this distinctive stone structure in 1846. The Hazard family was among the early settlers of Rhode Island and was involved in the textile manufacturing trade. Joseph Peace Hazard was one of the first to see the potential of nearby Narragansett Pier as a popular resort.
