Looking Back

Riverside was once home to three beautiful lighthouses: Bullocks Point Light, Sabin Point, and Pomham Rocks. Only Pomham Rocks is still standing. Bullocks Point Light was demolished after sustaining heavy damages in the Hurricane of 1938. Sabin Point was removed during the widening of the Providence River portion of Narragansett Bay in 1968.
